About the location

Château de Montélimar

26200 Montélimar

Drôme
Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Located on the site of an ancient castral motto founded by the Adhémar family in the 10th century, this medieval palace was built by the same family in the 12th century. It bears the name of a prestigious lineage in Provence and Dauphiné, whose representatives were lords of Montélimar for several centuries.
The site consists of a seigneurial dwelling, a Romanesque chapel, a square tower and a walled enclosure surmounted by a path of round. Over the centuries, the buildings have known many functions: palace, citadel, prison, public cultural place.
This listed historical monument, owned by the Department of Drôme, is the subject of successive restorations and is open to the public in 1983.
