Château de Balazuc, Medieval castle in Balazuc, France.
The rectangular stone castle rises on a limestone cliff overlooking the Ardeche River, featuring mullioned windows and a large fireplace from medieval times.
Built in the 11th century by the lords of Balazuc who ruled Bas-Vivarais, the castle expanded in the 13th century with additional buildings and architectural modifications.
The castle served as a silk production facility during the 19th century Ardeche silk boom, reflecting the region's industrial transformation from feudal stronghold.
Located at 94 Impasse de la Pousterle in Balazuc, the castle operated as a guest house until 2019 before converting to a private residence in 2020.
In 1576, the castle grounds hosted the signing of a peace treaty between Catholic and Protestant factions during the Wars of Religion.
