The castle has a rich history, having been the site of several important events. During the Hundred Years' War, it was besieged and captured by the English army.

Today, the Château des Montgommery is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world. It is known for its beautiful gardens, which were designed by the famous landscape architect André Le Nôtre, who also designed the gardens at Versailles.
