Chateau Guillaume-le-Conquerant

About

Château Guillaume le Conquérant, perched on a rocky spur in Falaise, Normandy, invites visitors to step back into the age of Norman dukes and English kings. Constructed in the 12th and 13th centuries, the castle features three medieval donjons, a well‑preserved enceinte, and a range of exhibitions that merge film projections, 3‑D tablet visualisation, and interactive displays of medieval art and furnishings. In 1997 the donjons were reopened to the public, and a comprehensive restoration programme now blends medieval architecture with modern conservation techniques. The castle’s virtual tour allows guests to explore the Petit Donjon, Tour Talbot, and other historic rooms from a guided screen. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a family looking for a cultural outing, or a school group, the castle offers engaging programmes, educational materials, and immersive experiences that bring Normandy’s past to life.
