The Château de Dieppe is a castle in the French town of Dieppe in the Seine-Maritime département.The castle was founded in 1188 by King Henry II of England, and was destroyed in 1195 by King Philip II of France. The site was restored in the 14th century. The castle was later in large part reconstructed in 1433 by Charles des Marets. The castle is composed of a quadrangular enclosure with round flanking towers and a lower court adjacent. The large west tower dates perhaps from the 14th century, and served as the keep. Several architectural styles are represented, and flint and sandstone are used in the buildings. A brick bastion and various other buildings have been added to the original enclosure.The town walls were built around 1360. The walls were extended between 1435 and 1442. Although the town was largely destroyed by an Anglo-Dutch naval bombardment in 1694, the castle survived.Until 1923, the castle housed the Ruffin barracks. It was bought by the town in 1903 and today is home to the Dieppe museum with its collection of ivories , maritime exhibits and the papers and belongings of Camille Saint-Saëns.
The castle offers a panoramic view over the town and the coast.
The Château de Dieppe has been officially classed since 1862 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
ヴォー＝ル＝ヴィコント城（Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte）はフランスのセーヌ＝エ＝マルヌ県・マンシーにある17世紀のバロック様式の城。ルイ14世の大蔵卿ニコラ・フーケ（Nicolas Fouquet）によって建てられた。フーケは当時最高の芸術家、すなわち建築家のル・ヴォー、画家のル・ブラン、造園家のル・ノートルを招いて建設にあたらせた。この城の成功はルイ14世の不興を買い、フーケは没落し、建設に当った芸術家はそのままルイ14世によってヴェルサイユ宮殿の建設に従事させられることになった。その庭園はフランス・バロック庭園の初期の傑作といわれている。地形的変化に富み立体的な空間表現を主体としたイタリア式庭園とは異なり、寒冷高湿で平坦地形という自然条件を生かして、平らな見通し線を縦横に配したオープンな軸線構成が展開されている。モニュメンタルで長大な視界が、整形に刈り込んだ樹林の壁や大運河、噴水などの水の道によって補強されながら敷地の果てまで延び、さらに擁壁や階段、カスケードといった人工の高低差が加えられて、ドラマチックな造形を生んでいる。視覚的なトリックや寒色の使用による望遠効果を用いて軸線を一点に集中させ、その終点の山の頂の城館が立つような幻想をつくりだしている。ここで確立した手法によって、17世紀のフランス式庭園の展開の方向が定まったといえる。
