Standing on its rocky spur above the village of Le Barroux, this castle overlooks the plain of the Dentelles de Montmirail amid vineyards and olive groves. Originally a feudal keep, it was embellished during the Renaissance before being turned into a stronghold following Vauban-style fortification methods at the end of the 17th century. Ruined and later rebuilt in the 20th century after a wartime fire during the Occupation, it now houses a chapel decorated with 18th-century wall paintings. Visitors come for the defensive architecture, the view towards Mont Ventoux and the cultural events held on site.
