La butte Saint-Siméon de Saulx-le-Duc

At the top of this hill is the chapel of Saint-Siméon. St. Simeon the Stylite is the patron saint of the village. His statue faces Prussia in order to protect the village from German invasions. The statue used to be inside the chapel and was removed between the wars. Below, there is a large enclosed area that has been cleared, where the main part of the castle was located, of which nothing remains today. Two natural rock walls are located further down. This is the old gateway to the fortification of the platform. The cylindrical base of the guard tower can still be seen. At the top of this hillock is the chapel of Saint-Siméon. It is not known whether it was spared during the destruction of 1602 or rebuilt between 1602 and 1750. This chapel fell into ruin and was restored in November 2001 by the commune. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
