Château de Montfort, 13th century castle ruins in Montigny-Montfort, France.
The fortified complex includes seven towers, with three semi-octagonal structures enclosing a courtyard protected by circular towers and defensive walls.
Bernard de Montfort, related to the Dukes of Burgundy, constructed the initial fortress around 1075, while Géraud de Maulmont ordered its reconstruction in 1289.
The castle retains a 30-meter-high southern wall section featuring three semicircular towers, including the Tour Amélie, along with the interior courtyard.
The monument remains closed to visitors during ongoing restoration work conducted by the MONS FORTI association, which comprises 220 active members.
The castle grounds contain a 28-meter-deep well and maintain the original cobblestone courtyard alongside the preserved medieval dovecote structure.
