Château de Montaigu, Medieval castle ruins in Mercurey, France.
The remaining stone walls of Château de Montaigu stand on a hilltop, with sections of the exterior structure revealing its medieval construction methods.
Built around 950 at the request of the Duke of Burgundy, the castle served as a strategic fortification to protect the region from invasions.
The castle represents the feudal architecture of Burgundy, situated in a region known for its wine production and historical trade routes.
The castle grounds, now private property, require advance permission for visits and offer views of the surrounding Mercurey vineyards.
During the Wars of Religion in 1591, the castle became a battleground, leading to its partial demolition under orders from King Henry IV.
