Château de Malengin, Medieval castle ruins in Montagne, France

The stone remains of Château de Malengin stand on a rocky promontory surrounded by deep trenches, featuring a square keep and preserved chapel within its walls.

Edward III of England granted permission to Gaillard de Malanguin in 1330 to construct a fortified house, which later became a strategic stronghold during conflicts.

The castle represents the architectural evolution of medieval defensive structures, with modifications made in the 15th century to resist artillery advancement.

Access to the interior requires navigating through a narrow corridor carved into the rock, leading to steep stairs that connect different levels.

Archaeological findings at the site include worked flint fragments, indicating human occupation of the location long before the castle's construction.
