Château de Montflour stands in Tardes (Creuse), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century, fourth quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Tardes, in the Creuse department, the château de Montflour combines two very different periods: an older core dating from the late 15th or early 16th century, and a neo-Gothic extension added at the end of the 19th century by Ludovic Souchard, a lawyer from Montluçon. The result looks like a medieval fortress, complete with a crenellated keep, mismatched turrets and a stair tower, though these features were actually built between 1880 and 1895. Inside, three rooms retain their neo-Gothic wood panelling, even though all furniture disappeared after the château was abandoned between the two world wars.
