Château de Châteaubourg, Medieval castle in Châteaubourg, France.
The Château de Châteaubourg stands on a rocky elevation overlooking the right bank of the Rhône River, ten kilometers north of Valence.
The fortress appears in 12th-century documents under the control of Lord Rogier II of Clérieux, who hosted King Louis IX during the crusades.
The castle exemplifies medieval defensive architecture in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, featuring an original drawbridge and prison structure.
The historical structure was converted into a hotel establishment in 1973 under the name Hostellerie de Châteaubourg, offering accommodation to visitors.
The castle functioned as a toll point to control navigation on the Rhône River during the Middle Ages, generating substantial income for its lords.

village overlooked by its very cute castle
Cute little castle between the Rhône and the vineyards of Saint-Joseph. It hovers above the abyss and one almost fears that it will tip over!
