Shush, Iran
N/A
Shush Castle, dates from the 1890's, and has been built to serve as a hotel for the French archeologists that came to excavate the Apadana site in Shush. Most of the castle has been built with mud bricks found on the excavation site. Some of these bricks still show the original decoration that was painted on them.

Susa Castle is a castle built by Jacques Demorgan for the residence of French archaeologists near the tomb of Daniel the Prophet in Susa on a historic hill. The most important artifacts obtained from this hill include the famous statue of the Queen Mother of Estonia, the famous emerald-colored emerald glass of Shush, and the role of a mountain goat and Hammurabi's law. The castle has a medieval plan.
Shush Castle (French: Château de Suse) is located in the ruins of the ancient city of Susa (Shush) in the Khuzestan Province of IRAN. It was constructed by French archaeologist Jean-Marie Jacques de Morgan in the late 1890s, as a secure base for archaeological exploration and excavation. The Castle is similar to medieval monuments in France. The structure was built by local craftsmen with bricks taken from two other archaeological sites, the Achaemenid Darius/Dariush castle and the Elamite Choqazanbil ziggurat. It is built atop a hill (in Persian:"tappeh") which may contain other relics of past times. It is an example of the pre-scientific era of archaeology, when explorers mutilated or destroyed sites in the process of examining them. The former French government property was taken over by the Islamic Republic after the Iranian Revolution in 1979. It is now used as a museum. Its best-known holding is a cuneiform tablet inscribed with the Code of Hammurabi, however it was stolen and now is on display in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The castle was heavily damaged by Iraqi bombs during the IRAN–Iraq War (1980-1988) but has since been completely restored by the Iranian government.
it was cosy and good with nice people good view of shush and historic place
Behind this contemporary castle there is an ancient palace belonging to Ardeshir - Shah of Iran one of the most important kings of Achaemenid period. Side by Side of ancient Susa summer, winter capital of Achaemenians. Unfortunately only some pillars of this monument exists. Must visit this vulnerable area. Sure enjoy it.
It's worth visiting.
The castle is really amazing for me And very much enjoyed visiting the Castle. I recommend you see this castle.
The most significant remaining of a flourishing period of archaeological projects in Iran, the Chateau represents a living history of archaeology and sociology of Khuzistan and Iran in greater extent.
