Provenance: Château de Diors (Indre).
Montaboulin was a stronghold of the seigneury of Vouillon. A confession of 1380 tells us that the stronghold of Montaboulin included the castle, a dovecote and an acre of vines. In 1504, Jean de Mareuil occupied the castle. At the end of the 18th century, it belonged to Henri Edme Crublier d'Opterre (1772-1810), member of the Legislative Assembly and General of the Revolution, to his son-in-law Dupertuis, then to the prefecture councilor Trumeau who bequeathed it to his nephew 8aucheron de Lescherolles, whose descendants still own it today. Seventeenth-century style, the Château de Montaboulin consists of a dwelling alongside two more modest pavilions and surrounded by outbuildings. Two circular towers recall the old enclosure. In the park, another has been converted into a chapel and contains the tombs of former owners.
