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.
