Château de Montplaisant stands in Saint-Hilaire-de-Brens (Isère), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century, 16th century, 17th century). No visits are on record for this building.
Overlooking the village of Saint-Hilaire-de-Brens, Montplaisant castle is a former fortified house dating from the late 13th or early 14th century. Built around a massive rectangular keep, the structure retains traces of the defensive architecture shaped by conflicts between the Dauphiné and Savoy regions. Visitors can see a 14th-century chapel, whose wall paintings are listed as a historic monument.
