# Château de Saumane

Saumane-de-Vaucluse, Vaucluse, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

Château de Saumane stands in Saumane-de-Vaucluse (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: 15th century, 16th century, 18th century). Adult admission costs 8 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Set on a rocky spur above the village, Saumane castle keeps the layered marks of a medieval stronghold and a pleasure residence built in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Sade family held the estate for generations, and it was here that the future Marquis de Sade spent part of his childhood at his uncle Jacques's home. Visitors can see a grand staircase with a double curved flight framing a vaulted chapel, along with a fortified courtyard where traces of the original moat remain.
