Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Fortress by Philip II in the 12th century, with remnants of this building still visible (medieval Louvre).

Whether this was the first building on that spot is not known; it is possible that Philip II modified an existing tower.

Philippe Auguste's fortress of 1190 was not a royal residence but a sizable arsenal comprising a moated quadrilateral (seventy-eight by seventy-two meters) with round bastions at each corner, and at the center of the north and west walls. Defensive towers flanked narrow gates in the south and east walls.
