Montaigne's tower
Montaigne’s Tower is the southern tower of the Château de Montaigne, a historical monument located in the French département of Dordogne. The tower is the only vestige of the original sixteenth-century castle, since the other buildings had to be rebuilt following a fire in 1885.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.chateau-montaigne.com )〕
The tower was renovated and redecorated to Michel de Montaigne's specifications in 1571, following his first retirement from public life. It notably contained the famous library and study in which he spent "most of his days" and the study in which the Essays were written.
In recognition of its historical and cultural significance, the tower has been classified as ''monument historique'' by the French government since 1952.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.culture.gouv.fr/public/mistral/merimee_fr?ACTION=RETROUVER&FIELD_1=INSEE&VALUE_1=24466&NUMBER=2&GRP=0&REQ=%28%2824466%29%20%3aINSEE%20%29&USRNAME=nobody&USRPWD=4%24%2534P&SPEC=9&SYN=1&IMLY=&MAX1=1&MAX2=1&MAX3=100&DOM=Tous )〕 It is the only one of the castle's buildings to be open to visitors today.
==Architecture==
The tower is in fact composed of three distinct architectural elements: the central round tower, a smaller secondary tower (containing a spiral staircase), and a square ''corps de logis'' protruding from the tower. It was built in the sixteenth century in the neo-renaissance style. It abuts the barbican defending the main entrance to the castle and its courtyard, or Cour d'honneur, on the side of the gate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://aquitaine.culture.gouv.fr/dossiers-thematiques/monuments-historiques-patrimoine/monuments-historiques/monuments-historiques-en-dordogne/18b8dcc87db28812c1940e791a454223 )〕
