Castle of Montal, Renaissance castle in Saint-Jean-Lespinasse, France
The castle combines defensive round turrets with slate roofs on one side and ornate Renaissance facades in the courtyard with stone carvings.
Maurice Fenaille conducted extensive restoration work in the early 20th century, preserving the architectural heritage of this 16th-century structure.
The monumental carved staircase and collection of tapestries within the castle reflect the refined lifestyle of French nobility in the 1500s.
The castle operates with seasonal opening hours, closes on Tuesdays from October to March, and offers both guided and self-guided tour options.
During World War II, the castle provided a secure storage location for valuable artworks from the Louvre Museum, including the Mona Lisa painting.
