Château de Montpezat, Medieval castle in Montpezat, France
The castle forms a quadrilateral structure with three main buildings surrounding a courtyard, featuring a chapel positioned next to a tower on the terrace.
First mentioned in 994, the castle changed ownership in 1269 when the Bishop of Nîmes transferred it to Saint Louis, who reportedly resided there.
The castle received official recognition as a French historical monument in 1949, with protected status applying to its facades and roofing structures.
Located on Rue du Château in Montpezat, the castle stands at coordinates 43°51′01″ north and 4°09′22″ east in the Gard department of France.
During the French Revolution in 1789, local villagers saved the castle from complete destruction by extinguishing a fire, though the interior suffered damage.
