Tips from the Community

Udo unter freiem Himmel
April 12, 2026, Montagny-les-Monts Castle Ruins

The tower is open continuously from April (Easter) to October. Admission is free. People with walking disabilities or acute fear of heights should avoid the tower. There is only one staircase up and down. Crossing on the inner staircase is a bit difficult. The outer staircase has around 45 steps, the inner one around 65. The view from the 30-meter-high tower top is unique. At the foot of the tower, a spacious meadow with scattered benches and tables invites you to linger. Cultural events such as festivals and the like regularly take place here. Next to the tower, there are no other noteworthy buildings (apart from the church) that can be visited.
