Château de Brie-Comte-Robert

Built in the 12th century, the castle of Brie-Comte-Robert, in the Seine-et-Marne, had become dilapidated and was partly razed in 1750. The Saint-Jean tower, which kept the symbol of the seigneury, was in turn demolished by a private owner in 1875.

In the heart of the town centre, the remains of the old castle consist of the square curtain wall flanked by round towers, the ramparts and the water-filled moats about twelve metres from the foot of the walls.

Since 1982 successive excavation campaigns have gradually uncovered the remains of the buildings inside the enclosure, and the medieval structures revealed are being restored.
