This castle was the witness of the Hundred Years War and remains one of the rare medieval fortified buildings in Ile-de-France
We owe the origins of this fortress to Guy I of Montlhéry, who had a keep and a chapel built in the 11th century. The castle gradually grew until it became the imposing building of which we can contemplate the remains today. The building was the witness of the Hundred Years War and remains, thanks to its intact machicolations, one of the rare medieval fortified buildings of Ile-de-France. Its interior courtyard offers a superb panorama of the Chevreuse valley. The visitor can walk around, climb the ramparts and visit the cellars.

Plusieurs petits parkings à proximité. Parfait en basse saison, probablement compliqué en haute. Ruines pas spécialement intéressantes. Vue sur la vallée mais pas très belle, la photo omet intentionnellement le gros terrain de foot.
