Château du Mont stands in Sazeray (Indre), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
The château du Mont stands on a rocky ledge in the commune of Sazeray, in the Indre department, overlooking the Rio Brûlé valley by some twenty metres. First recorded in 1385, the present building includes a main hall dating from 1457, flanked by two round towers, along with a barn built in the seventeenth century. Visitors can still make out the square outline of a walled courtyard and the remains of a tower that once held a chapel, visited in 1734 by the Archbishop of Bourges.
