Château de Ners, Medieval fortress ruins in Allauch, France
The remains of Château de Ners include two square towers with substantial walls positioned on a hill overlooking the Pichauris valley.
Raymond I, Bishop of Marseille, constructed the double curtain wall in the early 12th century to maintain control over toll collection rights.
The castle carries the name Castèu-Vièi in Provençal language, and local traditions associate it with Queen Jeanne despite no historical evidence.
The fortress ruins display a vaulted room measuring 6 meters by 2.75 meters, with visible architectural elements including archways and window openings.
The site features remnants of a 50-meter wall containing multiple dwelling traces, indicating a substantial medieval settlement around the fortress.
