From June 20th, Le Donjon de Rouen opens its doors to you and immerses you in the heart of the 13th century.

The Middle Ages in high fidelity: travel back in time to 1210 and enter a fully reconstructed medieval fortress, designed to be freely explored, touched, and inhabited. Here, the Middle Ages are not contemplated. They are experienced.

From Tuesday to Sunday, Le Donjon de Rouen opens its doors for a self-guided tour. Come and explore the castle at your own pace, according to your age, curiosity, and desire to explore.

As you wander through the spaces, you observe, open, and manipulate. Linger over the objects, materials, and recreated scenes. Stage yourself, strike a pose, and freely photograph yourself in this exceptional setting.

Create your own itinerary, combining curiosity, play, observation and historical discovery!

Take matters into your own hands!

Put on the helmet, feel the weight of the sword, touch the crockery, lie down on the bed and even sit at the king's table. Room by room, from the pantry to the royal chamber, travel back in time to 1210.

Three floors, three different atmospheres

Wander freely and move from one atmosphere to another as you progress through the floors. Your journey begins on the ground floor amidst the bustle of daily life and household management. It continues on the first floor with the splendor and power of the banquet hall, before finally opening the doors, at the very top, to the intimacy of the lord's chamber.

Forget your preconceived notions about the Middle Ages

Vibrant colours, rich textures, discover a Dungeon like Rouen hasn't seen for 800 years.

From 3 to
103 years old

A visit designed for everyone: a journey to 1210 for everyone. With family, friends or alone, take a leap back in time and explore the Dungeon in your own way, at your own pace.

Absolute scientific rigor

Two medieval historians, some thirty of the best craftsmen in France, months of hard work, all for one ambition: to take you into a true Middle Ages.

Every object, every tapestry, every weapon was designed with respect for the customs and know-how of the period. The result? An interior that Rouen hadn't seen for 800 years, and which you can now walk through with your own eyes.
