Château de Montbrun (Lot)

The Château de Montbrun is a ruined castle in the commune of Montbrun in the Lot département of France.[1]

The castle dates from the 12th, 13th and 17th centuries. Its existence as an important fortified site is documented in the 13th century. The castle was built in a position overlooking a meander in the Lot river. All that remains today are the keep and two enceintes, the first still having a round tower and various defensive architectural features. Between the two are a number of terraces which have been laid out as gardens.[1]

The site is privately owned and is not open to the public. It has been listed since 1984 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.[1]
