Château de Montalet, Medieval castle in Molières-sur-Cèze, France
The fortress stands at 275 meters elevation on a promontory, covering one hectare of land while overlooking the Cèze Valley in southern France.
Documents from 1199 mention the Bérard de Montalet family as owners, and in the 13th century Arnaud II set fire to the castle during a siege.
The castle features architectural elements from different periods, including ribbed vaults, mullioned windows, arrow slits, fireplaces, and corbelled latrines.
Guided tours take place every Sunday from 11:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with access by foot from either Molières sur Cèze or Saint Ambroix.
The stronghold contains a large central cistern that collected rainwater through stone conduits, enabling extended resistance during siege periods.
