Château de Montricoux, Medieval castle in Montricoux, France
The castle features a twenty-meter-high tower with four exterior buttresses and geometric Moorish-inspired frescoes in the guard room at ground level.
The Knights Templar received the castle from Saint-Antonin monks in 1181, and after the order's dissolution, it transferred to the Hospitallers in 1332.
The castle houses the Marcel-Lenoir Museum, displaying paintings, pastels, and drawings from the artist who incorporated cubist techniques into his work after 1912.
The museum opens from May through September, every day except Tuesday, with standard admission at 5 euros and reduced rates for students and groups.
The castle guard room contains a monumental fireplace and a broken barrel-vaulted ceiling, accessible through a spiral staircase leading to upper watchtower passages.
