En un regard
Le château en bref
Of the Château de Montaud, a fortified castrum dating back to the early Middle Ages in the commune of Beleymas, almost nothing remains today. The remains, located on a hillside east of the former bastide of Goyrand, on the road from Villamblard to Mussidan, outline a quadrangular plan with very thick walls dating from the 13th century, along with traces of a twin (geminated) window. The site, seat of a castellany, is associated with the Montaud family, who became lords of the neighbouring town of Mussidan in the 15th century, after which the fortress was abandoned; it was already in ruins by 1485. Three refuge souterrains lie nearby. As private property, the site is not open to the public.
