Château de Montespieu, Medieval castle in Navès, France
The castle features seven towers reaching heights of 15 meters and follows a rectangular layout with defensive architectural elements throughout its structure.
Originally built around 1250 by knight Pierre de Caudière, the castle underwent reconstruction in 1510 after falling into ruins during the previous century.
The Protestant de Juge family maintained ownership of the castle for nearly three centuries, from 1680 to 1964, influencing local administration.
The castle received monument historique status in 1992, recognizing its architectural and historical value within the French heritage system.
Architect Henri-Paul Nénot conducted extensive restoration work on the castle starting in 1896, preserving its medieval characteristics while adding modern elements.
