Description

Chinon (Indre-et-Loire)


La forteresse royale de Chinon.

La tour du Moulin.

La forteresse royale est divisée en trois châteaux: Le château du Milieu, le fort du Coudray et le fort Saint Georges (actuellement détruit).

La tour du Moulin fait partie du fort du Coudray construit au XIIe siècle. La tour du moulin doit son nom à un moulin à vent perché à son sommet à une époque récente. Elle date à priori de Richard Cœur de Lion*.

La tour du Moulin était protégée par une chemise, mur périphérique qui l'entourait pour la protéger. Il semble bien que la tour du Moulin enjambe une muraille antique.

Le premier étage est accessible seulement par le chemin de ronde, il n'y a pas de communication avec le rez-de-chaussée. L'étage supérieure est accessible à partir du premier étage par un escalier qui permet également l'accès à la terrasse.


  • La tour du Moulin, spécimen d’architecture « Plantagenêt » avec ses voûtes angevines, a été datée en 2003, par C14 à partir d'un charbon de bois emprisonné dans le mortier, entre 1160-1290 (probabilité 94,8 %). Le plus grand pic de probabilité dans cette fourchette étant de 1190. (Bruno Dufay, Francois Capron. "Opération(s) réseaux" forteresse de Chinon (37072). 2012).


The royal fortress of Chinon.

The tower of the Moulin.

The royal fortress is divided into three castles: Castle Middle, Fort du Coudray and Fort St. George (now destroyed).

The tower is part of the Fort du Coudray built in the twelfth century. The tower of the Mill is named after a windmill perched at the top in recent times. It dates a priori of Richard the Lionheart *.

The tower of the mill was protected by a jacket, peripheral wall which surrounded it to protect it. It seems that the tower of the Moulin straddles an ancient wall.

The first floor is accessible only by the covered way, there is no communication with the ground floor. The upper floor is accessible from the first floor by a staircase that allows access to the terrace.


  • The tower of the mill, architectural specimen "Plantagenet" with its Angevin vaults, was dated with carbon-14, from a charcoal trapped in the mortar between 1160-1290. Probably around 1190.
