Description

Château de Montialoux was owned by the Barons of Tournel. Aldebert III of Tournel was born in Montialoux around 1100, but there is no evidence of castle then. The castle may have been destroyed in 1588 during the Wars of Religion as well as many other castles in the area.

The new house was built in the 1660s and the castle served as a residence until 1782. It is today ruined but easily accessible.
