Château de Montbron

This 13th century castle features a two-storey main building, framed by two towers on the facade. The south tower (on the left from the gate) was originally used as a prison. It was also surrounded by a moat and a surrounding wall. In the 17th century, the mullioned windows of the façade were opened and side buildings were attached to the main body forming with it the entrance courtyard. It was then that Jean de Caupos, who became Viscount of Biscarrosse, renovated the building, giving it the appearance it has today.
The 17th and 18th century stone fireplaces have been preserved.
A large avenue of poplars offers a view of the lake. Memories of witnesses, now disappeared, evoke a subterranean passage linking the base of the former north-west tower with the wooded dunes beyond the small lake.
This castle cannot be visited.
