Fort-la-Latte

Fort la Latte (La Roche-Goyon) is a coastal medieval castle on a rocky cape in northeast Brittany, France, guarding views over the English Channel near Cap Fréhel. Built from the 1340s with a 14th-century keep and later artillery works under Louis XIV, it retains its concentric curtain walls, gatehouses and prominent round keep and is open to the public after 20th-century restoration.

As it stood in 1700

The shape it held in its prime.

A compact stone fortress perched on a rocky headland with the sea on three sides, dominated by a large circular stone keep set on exposed rock. Thick granite curtain walls connect several round towers and low stone domestic ranges; two successive gatehouses with drawbridges and a barbican protect the landward approach. The keep displays a corbelled machicolation band and many vertical loopholes; cannon batteries occupy lower terraces and the whole complex is built of local grey granite and sandstone.
