Where: Volonne

Château de Volonne stands in Volonne (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, second half of the 18th century). No visits are on record for this building.

The château de Volonne stands in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department, in the village that bears its name. Built in the early 17th century, it owes its reputation mainly to the interior of its main building: a grand reception hall, an entrance hall and a staircase decorated with ornamental plasterwork, which led to their specific legal protection. The building remains above all a record of Provençal architecture from that era.
