Château de Montbras, Renaissance castle in Montbras, France.

The castle features four corner pavilions of different heights surrounding a courtyard where the main residence and service wing stand.

Built between 1598 and 1610 for the lord of Amanty, the castle replaced an earlier fortress after Louis de Vigneulles sold the property to Claude II de Verrières.

The exterior walls display mythological statues in niches and ornate trophy carvings on the portals, representing French Renaissance architectural elements.

The castle contains guest accommodations and operates throughout the year, with specific visiting schedules available through the official website.

A continuous frieze of sculpted grotesque masks runs along the machicolations, distinguishing this castle among French Renaissance structures.
