MONTBLOY CASTLE
This castle overlooking the old town of Sain-Bel and the valley of the Brévenne retains the remains of the 12th century wall.
Overlooking the old town of Sain-Bel and the valley of the Brévenne, this castle, which was used to defend the Benedictine abbey of Savigny around 1190, became the residence of the abbots of Albon in the 15th century. Sold as a national asset during the Revolution, it retains the remains of the 12th century wall, the chapel and the 15th century buildings. In free visit, it is possible to discover only the outside. Every year, during the Heritage Days, the castle hosts medieval events and animations open to the public.
