Model of Chateau de Dourdan, France
Model of the Chateau de Dourdan as it would originally have looked, in the castle museum, Chateau de Dourdan, Dourdan, Hurepoix, Essonne, France. The castle was built 1220-22 by Guillaume de Flamenville under Philippe Auguste, replacing an earlier wooden structure. It is built on a square plan, with towers along the sides, at 3 of the corners and an isolated donjon at the 4th, and is surrounded by a dry moat. From 1672-1852 it became a prison, and now houses a history museum. The castle became an Historical Monument in 1964. Picture by Manuel Cohen
