Montréal Castle, also known as Shoubak Castle, is a historic crusader fortress located in the town of Shoubak in Jordan. Constructed in 1115 by Baldwin I of Jerusalem during the early crusader period, it served as a vital stronghold along the pilgrimage and trade routes between Damascus and Egypt. The castle showcases a blend of European and Islamic architectural styles due to subsequent renovations by the Ayyubids and Mamluks.
