Montmayeur castle, Medieval tower in Aime-la-Plagne, France.

The Montmayeur Castle features a square keep with an adjoining spiral staircase and multiple rooms arranged across different structural levels.

Originally constructed in the 13th century as a manor house, the castle underwent significant modifications during the 16th century to transform into a fortified stronghold.

The castle represents the architectural evolution of defensive structures in Savoie, demonstrating the transition from residential manors to military fortifications.

Located at 63 Chemin de la Tour Montmayeur, the castle received monument historique inscrit status through a decree issued on August 21, 1983.

The castle contains vaulted cellars and rooms with wooden ceilings supported by decorative beams dating from different construction periods.
