Montfort: the Historic Crusader Castle in Northern Israel
HOLY LAND UNCOVERED | The crusaders left their mark on the Holy Land with several sites demonstrating their affluence. Look no further than Montfort, which sits atop the rolling hills of northern Israel and serves as a memory of their efforts to conquer the territory from Muslim hands.
Story:
The Crusader era fuels the imaginations of many. It was a time of knights and kings, castles and battles in the Holy Land. One place in particular tells us not only the story of this peculiar period, but also some anecdotes regarding the internal conflicts of the Jerusalem Kingdom in the 11th and 12th century CE. The history of the place goes back even further.
The Talmud talks about a castle called 'Katzrah de Galeel' — Castle of the Galilee in Hebrew. It once stood just south of where Montfort is, and from this old castle's stones, the newer Montfort was built.
The Montfort castle was established by the Milly family – a French family who ruled the area now known as the Western Galilee. In 1187, following the expedition of Saladin in the area, the castle fell into the hands of Arab forces and, in 1192, the Crusaders recaptured the castle, and later it was sold to the Teutonic Knights order.
Research shows that the Montfort’s main purpose was not to protect the Teutonic knights from other orders who ruled the Holy Land. It was used mainly as an administrative headquarter and had no military significance. A tour of the site teaches us more about the Teutonic order.
Early research suggested that the Monfort was built in a rush, but Dr. Adrian Boas of Haifa University recently discovered a new hall which suggests that the knights who lived here had comparatively luxurious lives.
Crusader domination at the site was short-lived. The downfall came in the late 13th century following the attack of the Mamluks headed by their king Baybars.
Until Baybars manages to bring down. That’s how we know a lot about them today. For years, this place stood deserted and neglected, but more recently research here has been growing. This place gives us a rare glimpse into magical times, a significant chapter in the history of the holy land.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.
