Burg Pusignan, Medieval castle ruins in Pusignan, France.
The remains of Château de Pusignan stand on a morainic hill, with fragments of defensive walls and towers overlooking the surrounding plains.
Originally constructed as a Roman fort called Le Pavillon in the 12th century, the castle evolved from a wooden tower into a stone fortification.
The castle played a central role during the Battle of Anthon in 1430, marking a significant moment in the wars between France and Burgundy.
Located near Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, visitors can observe the medieval architectural elements through the remaining structure fragments.
The castle maintains connections to Joan of Arc through its former owner Aymar de Poisieu, who purchased the property in 1450.
