Château de Montdardier, Medieval castle in Montdardier, France
The stone fortress stands on a hill overlooking the Glèpe valley, featuring Gothic Revival architectural elements and defensive structures from multiple periods.
Construction of the castle began in the 13th century, with major restoration work completed in 1860 by architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc according to medieval specifications.
The coat of arms of Ginestous de Montdardier, displaying a rampant lion, remains carved above the castle portal, representing the noble heritage.
