Château de Montsabert

Château de Montsabert is a castle in Brissac Loire Aubance with three main buildings and two towers. The older tower dates to the 14th century and displays intricate stonework with decorative carved elements.

The castle was built upon 11th-century foundations and later modified by Bertrand du Guesclin, who acquired it through marriage to Jeanne de Laval in 1371. Its present form was largely shaped by restorations and alterations over subsequent centuries.

The castle maintains periodic exhibitions about regional history, including collections of artifacts, paintings, and historical elements from different time periods.

Access is seasonal and visits occur through guided tours at regular intervals. Visitors should check opening times in advance and allow adequate time to explore the grounds.

The structure blends a solid medieval defensive tower with a Renaissance wing, resulting from significant restoration work during the 1800s. This combination shows how the building was adapted and modified across many generations.
