Château de Vaugrenier Translation stands in Villeneuve-Loubet (Alpes-Maritimes), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 17th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Set within the Vaugrenier departmental park near Villeneuve-Loubet, this Italian-style manor has remained unfinished since its construction in the early 17th century. The main floor features a palladian-inspired central room along with a baroque chapel decorated with stucco, added some decades later. The former sheepfold and barn attached to the building recall the agricultural past of this estate, once spanning 150 hectares and now largely absorbed into the public park.
