Château de Montardy stands in Grand-Brassac (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages, 18th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Montardy castle stands at Grand-Brassac, in the Dordogne, on the site of a 14th century noble stronghold whose defensive features, keep and battlements, were removed during the Revolution. What remains today is a large residence flanked by two pavilion towers, a terrace marked by a watch turret, and outbuildings including a massive 17th century dovecote. The estate has remained in private hands since it passed to the du Lau d'Allemans family in 1600.
