Château de Montrond, Medieval castle in Saint-Amand-Montrond, France.
The fortress stands on a strategic hilltop position with remaining stone walls, bastions, and defensive structures overlooking the surrounding countryside.
Built in the 9th century and documented in 1225, the castle endured an eleven-month siege in 1652 when twenty survivors surrendered to Louis XIV forces.
The castle represents medieval military architecture and demonstrates the evolution of defensive structures from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance period.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds throughout the year and learn about its history through information panels and guided tours.
The castle underwent modifications by the Duke of Sully in 1606, including new fortifications designed by architect Jean Sarrazin between 1621 and 1652.
