Château de Montaner

The Château de Montaner is a castle in the commune of Montaner in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques département of southern France.

A castle was built on a motte in the 11th century by the Viscounts of Montaner. It was reconstructed in 1375 by the architect Sicard de Lordat on the orders of Gaston Fébus to protect the frontiers of Béarn with Bigorre and Armagnac. Sicard de Lordat was also responsible for the Château de Pau and the Château de Morlanne and is noted for utilising brick in his constructions, its advantages being comparative cheapness and speed.

Gaston Fébus had a treaty drawn up with the local Cagots to build the framework of the château, and provide the ironworking in return for a reduction in fief taxation.
