Château de Montbrun

The Forteresse de Montbrun, a military fortress dating back to the 12th and 15th centuries, is just around the bend in a magnificent green setting. Standing on the edge of a pond, this remarkable structure is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and picturesque monuments in the Limousin region. The present-day fortress was built in 1179. Its Romanesque machicolated keep, "Le Grand Jacques", its four round towers and its moat-like pond, reflecting its singular silhouette, make up a remarkable ensemble and turn it into a veritable fairytale castle. Bought back in 1995 and after extensive restoration, decoration and furnishing work, the fortress is now open to the public by reservation. The guided tour will take you through 13 of the 32 sumptuous rooms - a visit not to be missed!
