Château de Montcaillou stands in Avignon (Vaucluse), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Montcaillou is a country manor house built in the final decades of the eighteenth century on the outskirts of Avignon. It reflects the lifestyle of well-to-do landowners who sought both tranquility and proximity to the city beyond its walls. The property includes the main residence, a service building, and grounds lined with ancient plane trees.

What to know

The lane lined with plane trees creates a distinctive approach typical of enlightenment-era country properties.
The service building is an integral part of the protected heritage, with the same status as the main house.
The grounds are a central feature of the property inscribed as a historical monument in 1996.
