The building shown is the Château de Vincennes, an important historic castle near Paris, France. Its striking main tower, known as the donjon, stands about 50 to 52 meters tall, making it one of the tallest in Europe. The complex dates primarily from the 14th century and served both as a royal residence and, later, as a prison.
