Château GaillardChâteau Gaillard | Richard the Lionheart’s Castle in Normandy – History, Legends

In this video, we explore Château Gaillard, one of the most dramatic and legendary medieval castles in Normandy. Built by Richard the Lionheart in just two years, this fortress wasn’t just a military project — it was personal.
Rumors of a broken friendship — or maybe something more — between Richard I and King Philip II of France swirl around these ruins. And if that’s not enough drama, wait until you hear how the French army captured this “impregnable” castle… through the toilets.

We visited this castle twice: once in dense fog, once in the sun. We walked the ruins, followed the legends, and traveled with a Borzoi named Cheru who added his own royal energy to the scene.

🎥 Inside you’ll find:
• The story of how Château Gaillard was built without permission
• Why it caused political and religious tensions
• How it changed the course of European medieval history
• A search for the infamous toilet tunnel
• Travel tips if you’re heading to Normandy
• A very reluctant dog on very old stairs
