Château de Tancarville
Château de Tancarville is an 11th‑century castle on a limestone cliff overlooking the Seine near Tancarville in Normandy, France. It combines medieval defensive towers and curtain walls with a classical wing added in 1709; the site was partly burned after the Revolution and today awaits restoration.

As it stood in 1718
The shape it held in its prime.
A cliff‑top castle of pale buff‑grey ashlar, dominated at the front by two massive cylindrical gate towers flanking a high arched entrance; between them rises a narrow vertical residential range with stacked mullioned windows and a tall chimneystack. Behind and above the medieval massing stands a square 12th‑century tower, while a low, horizontal classical wing (added 1709) projects from one side with regular rectangular windows and a slate roof; in prime the whole complex is complete and roofed.
