Château de Montréal, Medieval castle in Issac, France.

The chateau stands over the Crempse River valley, featuring Renaissance facades, defensive ramparts, and a prominent tower with a circular library.

The original 12th-century fortress underwent transformation in the 16th century when the Pontbriand family added Renaissance elements to the military structure.

The chateau chapel contains a sacred relic of the Holy Thorn, obtained after the Battle of Castillon in 1453 where General Talbot was defeated.

The castle opens for guided tours during summer months, allowing visitors to explore three salons filled with furniture from the 17th to 19th centuries.

The gardens, designed by Achille Duchêne, include Italian and French styles with hibiscus, yew trees, and ornamental flower beds on different levels.
