Montfort Castle
Highlight • Castle
The complex is located in a park surrounded by walls and was extensively restored in the 19th century. Nothing remains of the previous medieval buildings. The ruins of the left wing were reconstructed, the tower dates from the 15th century, the rest from the 16th century. They used to have pieces from the time of Louis XIII. and Louis XIV's furnished rooms in the basement are accessible to visitors; Now Montfort Castle can no longer be visited.
In its history, Montfort Castle was conquered, burned down and rebuilt three times. During the Albigensian Crusade in the 13th century, Simon IV de Montfort took the castle. During the Hundred Years' War the castle was destroyed under Louis XI. and then destroyed under Henry IV.
