Château de Condrieu, Medieval castle in Condrieu, France.
The castle remains stand on a rocky outcrop overlooking the right bank of the Rhône River, next to the Arbuel stream.
Archbishop Renaud de Forez built the castle between 1193 and 1226, but Vienne troops destroyed it during a territorial conflict in 1330.
The circular keep, known as Tour Garon, represents 12th-century feudal architecture and formerly served as the regional prison.
Visitors can examine the remains of a fortified enclosure and the medieval bailey walls that surround the castle grounds.
The castle ownership was disputed between the Counts of Forez and the Church of Lyon, resolved through a transaction in 1173.
