Montbrun Castle

If you were asked to draw a medieval castle, you’d undoubtedly come up with the silhouette of Château de Montbrun!

It’s the ideal model of a fortified castle: a dwelling flanked by four round towers at the corners, pierced by slender, slender windows, with a parapet walk with battlements and merlons, a rectangular central courtyard, a high central Romanesque keep with machicolations, all surrounded by a moat-like pond. It’s the castle of our childhood dreams! All that’s missing is a drawbridge and a few enchanters, knights and princesses!

Today, Château de Montbrun is privately owned by a Dutchman, who has spent the last thirty years restoring it to its former glory using the finest materials: Italian marble, Murano crystal, carefully selected 15th-century furniture, etc. It comprises 32 luxurious rooms on 3500m²: a large kitchen, some 15 bedrooms all with private shower rooms, several reception rooms and lounges, a meeting/conference room, a music room, a billiard room, a remarkable two-storey library containing over 4000 books… The life of a château!
