Château de Cuzorn, Medieval fortress ruins near Cuzorn, France

The stone fortress stands on a cliff overlooking the Lémance Valley, with remaining walls showing medieval defense architecture patterns.

Built in 1271, the castle changed hands between English and French forces during the Hundred Years War before its dismantling in 1793.

The castle received official recognition as a French Historical Monument in 1950, marking its architectural and regional importance.

Local authorities have initiated safety measures, including cliff reinforcement and masonry consolidation to protect both visitors and nearby residents.

The castle grounds housed a girls' school in 1866, established in an adjacent building next to the ancient ruins.
