THE CASTLE OF MONTENDRE

The Château de Montendre stands proudly on the heights of the town, a reminder of its glorious past. Indeed, Montendre has played an important role in the history of this region. Its strategic position made it a prime target during invasions and conflicts. Devastated by fighting during the Hundred Years' War, the Wars of Religion plunged it into the heart of the darkest events. The old château has had many fortunes. In the 1950s, the commune inherited the site and, now restored, the château offers an exceptional view.
