Château de Montmoreau, Historical castle in Montmoreau, France.

The castle features a 15th-century main building with two towers, a polygonal turret containing a spiral staircase, and decorated entrance gates with heraldic reliefs.

The castle's foundation dates to 1075, followed by destruction in the Hundred Years' War and reconstruction in the 15th century under Baron Jean de Mareuil.

The castle chapel incorporates a central dome-covered rotunda and three vaulted absidioles, demonstrating the architectural methods of the 12th century.

Located at 40 Rue du Château in Montmoreau-Saint-Cybard, the castle opens to visitors during Heritage Days for guided tours of its grounds.

The exterior choir section displays arcade structures supported by pilasters with high arches, suggesting the previous existence of an upper floor.
