Château de Montargis, Medieval royal castle in Montargis, France.

The castle stands on a plateau overlooking the Loing Valley, protected by walls, towers, and a moat dating from the 12th century.

Philippe II Augustus annexed the castle to the French crown in 1184 through the marriage of his cousin Pierre II of Courtenay.

The castle reflects early Renaissance architecture through its grand hall built for Charles V and the royal apartments added in subsequent renovations.

Visitors can explore the castle ruins and restored ramparts through designated walking paths maintained by the Royal Castle of Montargis Foundation.

The castle grounds contained gardens designed by Jérôme Teste for Renée of France during the 16th century, incorporating both decorative and functional elements.
