En 1142, le site passe aux mains des chevaliers hospitaliers, qui en font l\u2019une des plus redoutables places fortes des \u00c9tats crois\u00e9s. Sa position, entre Homs et les routes menant vers l\u2019int\u00e9rieur, en fait un verrou strat\u00e9gique capable d\u2019abriter une importante garnison et de lancer des raids contre les territoires musulmans voisins. Au fil du XIIe et du XIIIe si\u00e8cle, le ch\u00e2teau est consid\u00e9rablement renforc\u00e9, notamment par ses enceintes concentriques. En 1271, apr\u00e8s pr\u00e8s de cent trente ans de domination franque, le sultan mamelouk Baybars s\u2019en empare gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une ruse fond\u00e9e sur une fausse lettre de reddition.
