Château de Montrésor, Medieval castle and Renaissance mansion in Montrésor, France.
The fortress and Renaissance residence stand on a rocky cliff above the Indrois valley, featuring two distinct architectural styles from different periods.
Count Fulk Nerra commissioned the initial fortress around 1005, which included one of the first stone keeps similar to the one at Loches.
The castle houses an extensive collection of Polish historical artifacts and artworks gathered by Count Xavier Branicki during the Second Empire period.
Visitors can explore the castle daily from February through November, with adult admission at 10 euros and reduced rates for students and children.
Count Branicki transformed the estate into a museum of Polish heritage after purchasing it in 1849, following his exile from Russian-controlled territories.
