In Brignoles, in the Var department, the former palace of the Counts of Provence stands at the heart of the old town, dating back to the 13th century when this fortified building was converted into a comital residence. It now houses the museum of the Brignoles region, home to the Gayolle sarcophagus, a collection of votive offerings, and paintings by Joseph Parrocel or Frédéric Montenard. The building, listed as a historic monument, reflects the recurring stays of the Counts of Provence whenever they passed through the town.

The building stands in the historic centre of Brignoles, on Place des Comtes de Provence.
