Origin and history
The Château de Montuel, located in Montigny-sur-Avre (Eure-et-Loir), is a mansion built in the 18th century. It consists of a rectangular building with two scauguettes to the east and a tower to the west. These architectural elements reflect the characteristics of the seigneurial residences of this time, combining defensive and aesthetic function.
The mansion is connected to a chapel by a retaining wall, an ancient vestige of a derailed courtine. The chapel, rectangular in shape, features foothills surmounted by hooked pinnacles, typical of 18th-century religious architecture. These details suggest a harmonious integration between the seigneurial house and the place of worship, common in the rural areas of the era.
Listed as a Historical Monument by order of 12 August 1924, the Château de Montuel and its chapel (known as Old) are protected for their heritage value. The location, noted as satisfactory a priori (level 6/10), places the monument in a preserved rural setting, although GPS coordinates indicate an approximate address (103 Montuel). No information is available on its current accessibility or uses (visits, events).
