Château-Gaillard, the fortress of Richard the Lionheart
Built by Richard the Lionheart, Château-Gaillard stands on a limestone cliff, above the Seine, near the town of Andelys, in France.
The construction, which began in 1197, was completed less than two years later. Which made Richard say, according to commentators at the time : How beautiful, my one year old daughter ! He would also have exclaimed : what a valiant castle ! (Quel château gaillard !)
Discover it in images — with more than half in double-page — reconstituted as it appeared before its taking by Philippe Auguste in 1204. The images are accompanied by explanations of its particular design, as well as the story of its fall, and a summary of the life of Richard the Lionheart.
