Château de Sault, Medieval castle ruins in Sault-de-Navailles, France

The remaining structures of Château de Sault include a rectangular tower with thick walls and sections of the original fortress walls on an elevated mound.

The castle, built in the 11th century, served as a strategic stronghold between the Duchy of Gascony and the Viscounty of Béarn until the 14th century.

The castle represents the architectural evolution of medieval defensive structures in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques region, reflecting local military engineering techniques.

The castle ruins, protected as a monument historique inscrit since November 26, 1998, stand on private property at coordinates 43.5489, -0.672698.

The main tower of the castle collapsed during Storm Justine in 2021, significantly altering the site's appearance after standing for over 800 years.
