Castle Kahn

Castle - a giant medieval fortification. To imagine the difficulties that would face the troops who wished to take it by storm, it is enough to walk on walls and look into the now-drained moat. In the castle chapel is Saint-Georges and Treasury building - one of the oldest (1100) civic buildings in Normandy.
Very interesting site - Pharmacy garden where the beds planted with medicinal and spicy herbs. Some copies of the collection, cultivated here since the Middle Ages - are poisonous.
In the western part of the castle is the Museum of Normandy.
The collection - the exhibits on the history of Normandy, and interesting cultural artifacts.
