Château de Montaure stands in Terres de Bord (Eure), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de Montaure stands in the Eure department, in Terres de Bord, on the site of an 11th century seigneurial stronghold founded by Odon Stigand. The present building, erected in the early 18th century, shows the restrained, balanced lines of the Louis XV style. The outbuildings house a cultural centre that organises seasonal events, while a neighbouring 16th century cider press building now serves as a cider museum.
