Clansayes - Tour des Templiers

Clansayes - Tour des Templiers
A priory was in Clansayes within the 10th century. Later the Knights Templar took over the place and strongly fortified it. It is overlooking the valley of the Rhone. This tower is one of the few remaining structures of the fortified place. The statue of the Virgin tops the 20 m high tower since the 19th century.

She stands very firm - and even has a lightning rod over her head.

After the iconoclastic and antireligious French Revolution was a swing back to austere catholicism in France. There are a couple of these giant virgins in France (eg Le Puy).
