Castles and fortifications of the century of William

Exhibition

Covering the period 1020-1120, the exhibition invites visitors to discover the gradual evolution of medieval fortifications.
It highlights the transition from the first defensive structures made of earth and wood, such as enclosures and motte-and-bailey castles, to more durable stone constructions.

Through various media, reconstructions, and detailed explanations, the public will be able to observe the architectural innovations of the time, notably the emergence of quadrangular towers and shell-keeps.

The exhibition thus offers an educational and visual immersion into the military techniques and defensive issues of the Middle Ages, while providing a better understanding of the evolution of fortified landscapes.
