As night falls, come and discover the Donjon and its reconstructed castle setting in a unique atmosphere.
Who hasn’t dreamed of living the life of royalty? This summer, we are making your wishes come true and inviting you to discover the Rouen Keep with your young children.
Accompanied by a guide, discover the Rouen Keep as you’ve never seen it before. Step into a reconstructed medieval fortress and travel back in time to 1210, to the origins of Philip Augustus’s castle.
Somewhere between live-action role-playing and immersive theatre, this unique storyline game invites you to dive into the heart of the castle’s intrigues alongside three iconic characters.
The Rouen Keep opens its doors for a self-guided visit. Explore the castle at your own pace, according to your age, curiosity, and sense of adventure.


Rouen Sites et Monuments and the Rouen Normandy Metropolis have joined forces with two medieval historians and some thirty craftsmen specializing in historical know-how, among the best in France, for this extraordinary creation.

The Donjon, the only remaining vestige of Rouen Castle, has been the scene of major historical events. From the Hundred Years' War to the Second World War, it is the sole witness to the history of the city of Rouen.
