Burg Saint-Sauveur-de-Cruzières, Medieval castle in Saint-Sauveur-de-Cruzières, France
The castle stands on a promontory with stone walls and towers overlooking the valley of Saint-Sauveur-de-Cruzières in the Ardèche department.
Built by the Knights Templar in the 12th century, the fortress changed ownership to the church after the Templar order was disbanded.
The castle structure incorporates a Gallo-Roman cistern system that supplied water to Roman villas in the valley below through an elaborate network.
Following extensive renovation work, the privately owned castle now functions as a holiday residence available for rental throughout the year.
The fortress earned the local nickname La Tour de Cruzières and maintains its position at 448 meters above sea level.
