Château de Montbrun

Highlight • Castle

Montbrun castle, in the heart of the Périgord Limousin regional natural park, is surely one of the most beautiful in Limousin. At the edge of a pond and in a very beautiful green setting, the site is full of charm and steeped in history. It is located on the "Richard Coeur de Lion" tourist route. The castle can be visited between May and October.

Even here - in the middle of the Périgord - there are references to Richard the Lionheart, as this fantastic castle shows... Almost like being at home in the Palatinate 😊
