Burg Niort-de-Sault, Medieval castle ruins in Niort-de-Sault, France.
The stone walls of this fortified structure stand on a strategic position, featuring a tower that provided surveillance over the surrounding territories.
Originally constructed in the 6th century, the castle became a notable stronghold during the Albigensian Crusade in the 13th century.
The castle walls contain carved crosses and stone staircases that reflect the architectural methods and religious symbols of medieval French nobility.
Visitors can reach the castle remains through marked paths, though the remote location requires advance planning and suitable walking equipment.
A hidden passage within the castle structure reportedly allowed defenders to escape during the siege by King Louis IX in 1255.
