City of Montmorillon

Nestled on the banks of the Gartempe, Montmorillon, of medieval origin, reveals a rich and varied heritage. Picturesque alleyways, 17th and 18th century mansions, Romanesque churches and a castle mound bear witness to its prestigious past.

A jewel of the city, the Maison Dieu, a former hospital monastery founded in the 11th century, preserves remarkable elements: the Saint-Laurent chapel, the warming room, the fortified tower and the Octagon, a mysterious funerary chapel with unique features.

A city of art and memory, Montmorillon invites you to stroll where each stone tells a page of history.
