Raised on a keep already mentioned in 1380 beside the Colostre river, this castle in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence combines a medieval tower, Renaissance wings and features of a Provençal farmhouse. The Castellane family, who had it built, withstood a sixteen-day siege there in 1586 led by Jeanne de Grasse during the Wars of Religion. Visitors can see an architecture shaped by centuries of successive alterations by the families who owned it.
