Château de Saint-Cyr, Medieval castle in Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d'Or, France.
The square tower of the castle stands 21 meters high and overlooks the village center of Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d'Or in the Lyon metropolitan area.
Built in the 12th century by Girin de Rosset, the castle underwent reconstruction in 1210 under Lyon Archbishop Renaud II de Forez.
Pope Clement V stayed at this castle in 1305, marking its significance in the religious history of the Lyon region.
The castle tower, owned by the municipality, has been registered as a historical monument since February 18, 1926.
In 1422, the castle endured pillaging and burning by English and Burgundian forces during medieval conflicts.
