Montfort Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Montfort Castle stands on a jagged rock, 90 meters above the Dordogne, at the end of the famous “Cingle de Montfort” river loop in the municipality of Vitrac in the French department of Dordogne.

The complex is located in a park surrounded by walls and was extensively restored in the 19th century. Nothing remains of the previous medieval buildings. The ruins of the left wing were reconstructed, the tower dates from the 15th century, the rest from the 16th century. They used to have pieces from the time of Louis XIII. and Louis XIV's furnished rooms in the basement are accessible to visitors; Now Montfort Castle can no longer be visited.
In its history, Montfort Castle was conquered, burned down and rebuilt three times. During the Albigensian Crusade in the 13th century, Simon IV de Montfort took the castle. During the Hundred Years' War the castle was destroyed under Louis XI. and then destroyed under Henry IV.

As you pass through La Roque-Gageac, you will be rewarded with stunning views of the Dordogne Valley, where the landscape unfolds into a picturesque tapestry of rolling hills, lush meadows and the meandering Dordogne River. Perched on the cliffside, the village of La Roque-Gageac adds to the charm with its charming stone houses and narrow streets that cling to the rock face.
