Cradle of Mrs de Montespan
Rich of souvenires of the Mortemart, lineage of men and women famous for their heroism, their beauty and their incisive mind, Mortemart invites you to a journey through the past centuries through its old and splendid stones .
Start the visit by the castle of the 10th century where the beautiful Athenais de Rochechouart was born and who would become famous for the name of Mrs de Montespan . The tower of the dungeon, the guards' room and that of justice, all give an eloquent overview of the past of this castle of the Dukes of Mortemart .
The convents of the Carmes and of the Augustinian , built in the 13th century and reworked until the 18th century ,are marvels of architecture. The chapel of the convent of the Augustinian, became a parish church housing treasures of religious art ...
Many beautiful houses of nobilities from the 17th and 18th centuries flank the central square where stands the venerable wooden hall.
Maison du Sénéchal, de Verdilhac, de l'Echauguette or du Chevalier de Béon, deserve the detour. .> Learn more :
