The artillery terrace
As part of the project to improve and enhance Caen Castle, the artillery terrace, which has suffered badly over the years and after successive restoration jobs, is to be restored to how it looked on the outside in the 16th century, and the possibility of reinstalling cannon on the top is currently being looked into.
A number of developments are planned inside the slope. First of all, a large (400 m2) temporary exhibition room will enable visitors to step back far enough to view the mediaeval wall, the curtain wall and the doors to the towers as they were in the 15th century, before the artillery terrace was built. A large educational reception complex is also to be built within the volume of the reconstituted slope and so will be located where the new rooms and the Exchequer Hall meet. Lastly, a basement level, a 400 m2 study and preservation gallery will enable the Musée de Normandie to redeploy its collections between its now overfilled storerooms and these new premises.
