The Château de Vincennes is a historic fortress located in Vincennes, a suburb to the east of Paris, France. Built in the 14th century by King Charles V, it is an impressive example of French medieval architecture. The castle played a significant military role in the past, serving as a royal residence and a prison for political figures. Today, it no longer serves an active military function but is primarily a tourist attraction and a historic site. It also houses the Service Historique de la Défense (SHD), responsible for collecting, preserving, and managing military historical archives in France. The castle is a classified historical monument, offering visitors insight into France's medieval history, its impressive architecture, and cultural exhibitions. It stands as an important testament to the military and documentary history of the country.
