# Château de Montgilbert

Ferrières-sur-Sichon, Allier, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Château de Montgilbert stands in Ferrières-sur-Sichon (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

On the slopes of the Montagne Bourbonnaise, the château de Montgilbert shows its trapezoidal 13th-century layout, reinforced at each corner by round towers and along its longer sides by two square keeps. Built around 1250 by the Saint-Gérand family on the site of an earlier settlement dating back to Gallo-Roman times, it ranks among the oldest feudal strongholds in the region. Its stones bear witness to centuries of eventful history, from inheritance and marriage to a confiscation during the Hundred Years' War.
