Castellas d'Uchaux stands in Uchaux (Vaucluse), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 13th century, 14th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The castellas of Uchaux are the fortified domain of the Baux lords, set within a medieval site whose layout remains legible. The castle-keep dates to the 13th and 14th centuries, while a Romanesque church from the 12th century, later altered in the 17th, anchors the complex. The protected perimeter extends to archaeological layers of the settlement that once surrounded these structures.

What to know

The site holds the status of a classified historical monument; the church is currently deconsecrated and closed to visitors.
Protection extends to the castle-keep, the former church with its prior's dwelling, the old cemetery, and the scattered remains of medieval settlement around it.
No official data on opening hours, admission fees, or physical access is published; inquire with Uchaux town hall.
