Restaurant Dining room in the room of the knights with its XII 2nd century old pillars. Castlle of Bricquebec Certain Ansleck, great nephew of Rollon, first "duke" of Normandy, would have raised the primitive feudal mound on which draws up the current fortress of XIVe century. Its keep of 22 meters and 3 stages represents, with its 11 sides the ultimate evolution of the square tower towards the round tower. The ring a flanked enclosure of eight turns which the contemporary life seized without disfiguring it. A staff waiting room, become dining room hotel, thus presents a double line of summoned pillars of carved capitals. A crypt of XIIIème century, refitted, became place of exposures. Testimonys of the continued life of a strong rural borough, also sits of a large abbey. Location Hostellerie du Château - Hotel Bricquebec
