Origin and history
The Château de la Roche de Bran is a historical monument located in the commune of Montamisé, in the department of Vienna (New Aquitaine region). This site, listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments by decree of 15 November 2023, includes the entire castle, its chapel, and a commemorative stele. The buildings are located on cadastral plot 403, section D, as specified in the official documents.
The exact address, 1 La Roche de Bran, places this monument in a rural environment characteristic of the Poitou-Charentes. Monuments such as the Bran Rock often played a central role in the social and economic organization of the Poitevin countryside. In modern and contemporary times, castles in this region served as seigneurial residences, agricultural production sites or symbols of local power.
Their preservation, as evidenced by the recent listing of this site, reflects the heritage importance accorded to these witnesses of rural history. No specific information on medieval origins or historical owners is available in current sources.
