Welcome

Welcome to the Château de Montreuil-Bonnin website

An exceptional witness to the military architecture of the early 13th century, the Château de Montreuil-Bonnin is a key place in the history of Poitou. According to legend, it was the fairy Mélusine who built this castle and named it “Eye Monster” for one of her sons who had a disproportionate eye in the middle of his forehead. Since 2012, in consultation with the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs (DRAC), a program of restoration and safeguarding of this heritage, classified as a Historic Monument since 1840, has been undertaken.

If you are passionate about history and heritage, take part in this adventure.

A big thank you to each private patron who contributes from the first euro to the restoration and preservation of this site.

The restoration work on the keep should be completed at the start of 2024, but the list of urgent works is growing: west curtain wall, gable of the castle, facade of the postern whose stones are threatening.....

For 12 years, we haven't been bored!

The small streams make the great rivers which contribute to carrying out this cultural enterprise.
