Of the castle of Montignac, located in the town of Montignac-Charente, in Charente, only the keep remains.

It is built on a terrace overlooking the Charente.

Of the enclosure, there remains the gate with portcullis with two round towers at the top of an escarpment, the western part of the enclosure and a round tower.
