The castle of Montmelas is mentioned as early as 977. This ancient fortified castle was rebuilt in the 13th or 14th century, and restored in a neo-Gothic aesthetic in the 19th century. It stands in the commune of Montmelas-Saint-Sorlin in the Rhône department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The castle was listed as a historical monument by decree of June 29, 2000. Montmelas comes from the Latin mons malatus, "mountain laden with fruit".
