Domfront Castle

Highlight • Castle

Besieged by William the Conqueror in 1092, this castle has changed hands many times. The English, in 1417, occupied it during the winter months. It remained in English hands until the French recaptured it in 1450. The castle's fate was sealed when it served as a refuge for the Earl of Montgomery in 1574. He was beheaded the same year and the demolition of the castle was ordained in 1608. Witnesses to the construction of the castle, the ruins have stood the test of time and are still there today for you to enjoy.
