Israel, Hunin(Castellum Novum) Crusader Castle

The castle named in Frankish chronicles as Chastel Neuf or Castellum Novum, and known as Qal’at Hunin in Arabic, and as (Horvat) Mezudat Hunin in Modern Hebrew, was built in two phases by the Crusaders during the 12th and 13th centuries (1105–7, 1178 and 1240) and refortified by Mamluk sultan Baibars in 1266. The moat is the only well-visible Crusader feature left, with very little of the medieval structures being preserved.
