The castle of Montmelas is mentioned as early as 977. This ancient fortified castle was rebuilt in the 13th or 14th century, and restored in a neo-Gothic aesthetic in the 19th century. It stands in the commune of Montmelas-Saint-Sorlin in the Rhône department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The castle was listed as a historical monument by decree of June 29, 2000. Montmelas comes from the Latin mons malatus, "mountain laden with fruit".

Montmelas Castle can be seen from everywhere in the Beaujolais area. It dates back to the 10th century, when it was but a military stronghold, built there by the Sires of Beaujeu.
