About the location

Château de Montautre

Montautre, 87250 Fromental

Haute-Vienne
Nouvelle-Aquitaine

A 15th-century castle completed with a tower-staircase in the 16th century, Montautre is «a particularly emblematic site of a very important fringe of the Limousin seigneurial habitat too little taken into account, namely that of the most modest nobility of the late Middle Ages». (C. Rémy, PhD in medieval history)
