About Château de Dieppe

The Château de Dieppe is a medieval fortress overlooking the English Channel, now housing one of Europe's most important ivory collections. The castle's origins date to 1188 when Henry II of England built the first fortification, though the current structure with its impressive round towers was largely constructed in the 14th century and rebuilt after 1433. The museum displays nearly 2,000 intricately carved ivory objects spanning four centuries, created by Dieppe's renowned craftsmen who once numbered 300 at the trade's peak.

In 1694, a devastating Anglo-Dutch naval bombardment destroyed much of Dieppe city, but the castle on the cliffs survived the attack virtually unscathed. This resilience allowed the fortress to become a refuge for the townspeople and later served as a symbol of the city's endurance through centuries of conflicts.
