Château de la Napoule stands in Mandelieu-la-Napoule (Alpes-Maritimes), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 18th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Standing above the shoreline opposite the harbour entrance of Mandelieu-la-Napoule, this castle occupies a site held since the Middle Ages. Originally built by the Villeneuve-Tourettes family, destroyed and rebuilt several times, it bears the mark of major alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries, having even served as a glassworks before regaining its medieval appearance. Visitors come for the architecture and the coastal setting as much as for the turbulent history of a place long contested between local lords and the church.
