Ensemble castral du Montellier, Medieval castle in Le Montellier, France.
The Ensemble castral du Montellier displays circular towers, high walls, and a central keep built with large Savoyard bricks at its core.
During the 13th and 14th centuries, this fortified complex served as a strategic military outpost, with additional structures added in the 15th and 16th centuries.
The castle interior contains monumental paintings featuring heraldic symbols and floral patterns that reflect medieval French artistic traditions.
The castle received official monument classification in 2003, ensuring preservation of all structures, including the moat and surrounding grounds.
Nine defensive towers flank the castle's sloped enclosure, creating an architectural layout that demonstrates medieval military engineering principles.
