# Tour de Crest

Crest, Drôme, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Tour de Crest stands in Crest (Drôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 10th century, 11th century, second half of the 14th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Crest, in the Drôme department, stands the former keep of a medieval castle largely torn down on Richelieu's orders in 1632: only this 52-metre tower survived. It ranks among the tallest structures of its kind in Europe. Visitors can trace several centuries of building work, from Roman foundations to late-medieval additions, and see walls covered with graffiti left by prisoners held there until 1873.

**Practical details not verified yet.** We know this château and where it is, but we have not yet checked its opening hours or prices at the source. We would rather tell you than display something we are unsure of.
