Located on an almost-island at the crossroads between two rivers, La Creuse and La Sédelle, Crozant Castle was to be invulnerable.
A rich and ancient history surrounds this stronghold located in a particularly strategic location.
Today, only the ruins of the medieval fortress remain.
About 75m above the Creuse, on a space of 380m in length and 25 to 75m in width, the ruins are revealed to the visitor at the bend of a path.
Accessible by a bridge spanning a ditch and defended by several angular towers. Today in ruins, this primitive chestnut constitutes by its defensive elements, a voluminous rectangular tower-door. In the thirteenth century, more buildings were built thanks to Hugues de Lusignan. The castle is then cut into 3 yards on about a kilometer long.
The buildings then developed over several hundred meters long, from the entrance châtelet to the Colin tower.
After a first courtyard associated with the entrance system, one reached an intermediate complex, dominated by a large quadrangular tower which certainly served as a dwelling for the captain of the square.
Then we reached the great northern courtyard, whose rocky core bore the large circular tower, the Renard tower, the chapel of the counts and, no doubt, a dwelling.
Despite several successive campaigns of construction and apart from some rare remodeling of the late Middle Ages, the ensemble bears the mark of the thirteenth century.
