Château de Montbriand, Medieval castle in Messimy-sur-Saône, France.

The Château de Montbriand stands on an elevation of 201 meters, featuring a courtyard, eastern moats, and an access portal to the forecourt.

Originally named Mondemangue in 1403, the castle was rebuilt around 1690 by J. Leviste de Briandas at the location of the former fortified house.

In 1756, the estate received county status, granted to Daniel Leviste de Briandas, who served as knight of honor in the Dombes parliament.

The castle received historical monument designation on January 23, 1989, and visitors should contact local tourism offices for access information.

A functioning ice house constructed in 1750 by mason Gaiard from Messimy remains partially preserved within the castle grounds.
