# Château de Mortemart

Mortemart, Haute-Vienne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Château de Mortemart stands in Mortemart (Haute-Vienne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 13th century, fourth quarter of the 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Mortemart, in the Haute-Vienne department, this château presents a main building flanked by two round towers, heir to a lordship recorded as early as 1205 that later became a ducal peerage under Louis XIV. Moats remain on the eastern and western sides, still fed by a pond, while a thick wall recalls the medieval stronghold once partly dismantled on Richelieu's orders. Visitors can trace layers of history here, from seigneurial power to political disgrace and the estate's repurchase by the Mortemart dukes in the early 19th century.

**No visits on record.** No opening hours or ticketing found.
