Castillo de los Duques de Alençon - a photo on Flickriver

Alençon (Francia). Castillo de los Duques.
La apariencia de sus dos torres gemelas, atestigua la grandeza y suntuosidad del antiguo castillo. No queda nada de la torre Giroye, las acequias formadas por el río Briante, ni muy poco del gigantesco parque que se extendía hasta el bosque de Écouves, reducido hoy al parque de los Paseos, de 4 hectáreas.
El castillo de finales del siglo XII, antes de su destrucción durante los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII, consistía en un recinto fortificado, que abarcaba dos islas del Briante, flanqueadas por grandes torres redondas, incluida la torre Giroie, la torre de la sal y la barbacana. De esta importante fortaleza, se mantiene hoy en día, la Torre Coronada, el edificio principal contiguo a la torre, y el castillo de entrada con sus dos torres gemelas redondas con matacanes.
Desde la Revolución Francesa hasta 2010 actuaba como prisión.
Está clasificado como monumento histórico desde 1862.
