La butte Saint-Siméon de Saulx-le-Duc

The chapel of Saint-Siméon stands at the top of the hill. Saint-Siméon le Stylite is the patron saint of the village. His statue faces towards Prussia, protecting the village from German invasions. The statue used to be inside the chapel, but was removed between the wars. Below, there is a vast walled area that has been levelled; this is where most of the castle stood, of which nothing remains today. Two natural rock walls are located further down. This is the old gateway that gave access to the fortified enclosure of the platform. The cylindrical base of the guard tower can still be seen. The chapel of Saint-Siméon stands at the top of the hill. It is not known whether it was spared during the destruction of 1602 or rebuilt between 1602 and 1750. The chapel fell into ruin and was restored in November 2001 by the commune.
