Qasr Bardawil ( Arabic قصر بردويل, DMG Qaṣr Bardawīl , "Balduinsburg") or Château de Baudouin is a no longer preserved crusader castle in the Golan Heights .
location
The castle complex is said to have been near the present-day place Eliad (formerly Eli Al or el-Al ), about 9 kilometers east of the Sea of Galilee .
history
The construction of the crusader castle in 1105 was attributed to Prince Hugo von Saint Omer , a vassal of King Baldwin I of Jerusalem , after whom the castle is probably named. According to Arab sources, Qasr Bardawil was conquered by Tugtakin , the Atabeg of Damascus in a night attack in 1106 and then destroyed.
Archaeological excavations at Eliad in 1968 could only prove the remains of a Bronze Age complex; since then there have been doubts in the literature as to whether the crusader castle ever existed.
