Château de Bourgon, Renaissance castle in Montourtier, France.

Château de Bourgon is a Renaissance castle in Montsûrs built from stone with symmetrical facades. The windows are generous and decorated with ornamental moldings that extend across multiple floors throughout the structure.

The castle was built between the 15th and 16th centuries and played a strategic role during the Hundred Years' War. Its construction across these two centuries reflected the needs of that turbulent period.

The castle takes its name from the Bourgon family, who shaped it across generations. Visitors can find traces of this connection to local history and former inhabitants' lives throughout the rooms today.

The site is accessible on most days, but it is best to check opening times beforehand. Access may be limited during bad weather, especially in the gardens and on outdoor staircases.

The castle houses several guest rooms decorated in different historical styles, including Renaissance and Aubusson designs. These rooms showcase varied decoration principles and create an immersive experience of historical elegance for overnight visitors.
