Château de Montplaisant, Medieval castle in Saint-Hilaire-de-Brens, France.
The Château de Montplaisant features an elongated keep and massive stone walls with slate roofs characteristic of medieval defensive architecture.
Built around 1280 on the remains of an ancient fortress, the castle formed a 30-meter quadrilateral with an inner courtyard and drawbridge.
The Loras family, among the oldest chivalric houses of the Dauphiné region, maintained this stronghold for seven centuries.
Visitors can reach the castle from Bourgoin-Jallieu via departmental roads, with the nearest train station located in the same city.
The interior fireplace bears a discrete mark indicating historical connections to the Order of the Templars and later the Order of Malta.
