In 1120, a letter from Pope Calixte II was sent from the Château de Crest (« Castrum Cristam »). It was at about this time that, around the foot of the tower, a medieval town was developing bearing the name of the master of the area, Lord Arnaud de Crest. In 1394, the Château de Crest had a grand square tower built of dressed stone. Cardinal Richelieu, on the orders of Louis XIII, destroyed the castle leaving only the massive tower which today dominates the town of Crest.

  • In 1120, a letter from Pope Calixte II was sent from the Château de Crest (« Castrum Cristam »). It was at about this time that, around the foot of the tower, a medieval town was developing bearing the name of the master of the area, Lord Arnaud de Crest. In 1394, the Château de Crest had a grand square tower built of dressed stone. Cardinal Richelieu, on the orders of Louis XIII, destroyed the castle leaving only the massive tower which today dominates the town of Crest. The upper floors of the keep, originally defensive in purpose, were transformed into a prison and remained thus until 1873. The walls are covered with inscriptions by exiles from the Second Empire. The Tour de Crest was classified as a monument historique on 6 June 1877. It has belonged, since 1988, to the town, which has allowed tourists to visit it.
