In Blainville-Crevon, in the Seine-Maritime department, the remains of a medieval fortress still stand, dating back to the 14th century when Jean IV de Mauquenchy, known as Mouton, a companion of Bertrand du Guesclin, had it built. Later owned by the d'Estouteville and Colbert families, the stronghold was eventually replaced by an unfinished classical château before being demolished during the French Revolution. What visitors see today are these ruins, shaped by centuries of conflict and rebuilding.
