Chateau de Montfort is a castle in the French commune of Vitrac in the dordogne departement part of the region of Aquitaine.

---

The castle clings to a promontory overlooking the Cingle de Montfort (Montfort Meander) on the Dordogne River. Its grandiose setting "aroused the envy of those who wished to rule Perigord" so that its history is a long series of battles and sieges. It was taken and razed to the ground by Simon de Montfort in 1214.
