About Château Robert le Diable
Overlooking the Seine near Rouen, the ruined Château de Robert le Diable is a romantic medieval fortress whose evocative name comes from the legend of Robert the Devil, a wicked Norman lord of folklore. Dating in origin to the early Middle Ages and long associated with the dukes of Normandy, the castle is now a picturesque ruin of stone walls and towers perched above the great loop of the river. From its height, fine views open over the Seine valley and the surrounding forest. Steeped in legend and Norman history, the site offers an atmospheric glimpse of the age of dukes and knights. Romantic, historic and beautifully sited above the river, the Château de Robert le Diable is an evocative ruin near Rouen, a place where medieval history and folklore meet against the backdrop of the Seine.
