Vincennes Castle in France

 

Castles, French



Vincennes castle is located in Southern France. It was, at one point, a very luxurious stronghold inhabited by French kings.

Vincennes castle has, however, lost much of its luxury as centuries have passed since it was built in the XIV century. Nevertheless, it has been widely used for an immense array of purposes - most notoriously as a porcelain factory and as a prison because of the immense dungeons located underneath.

This castle is also very well designed as it features a seemingly perfect symmetry which took much work by medieval architects to accomplish.

Many round towers can be seen in the castle's exterior which were primarily for defense purposes. Of course, this castle was very strong and feared by enemy armies.
