Burg Pusignan, Medieval castle ruins in Pusignan, France.
Burg Pusignan is a castle ruin located on a hill near Lyon, with fragments of stone walls and towers visible above the surrounding plains. The remaining structures show the different building phases of medieval defensive architecture.
The site began as a wooden fortification in the 12th century before being rebuilt in stone as a defensive stronghold. By the 15th century it had passed to various noble families who controlled the region's strategic military positions.
The castle played a central role during the Battle of Anthon in 1430, marking a significant moment in the wars between France and Burgundy.
The ruin is located near Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport and visible from the surrounding plain. Visitors should expect uneven ground and restricted access to the inner structures.
The castle maintains connections to Joan of Arc through its former owner Aymar de Poisieu, who purchased the property in 1450.
