31 châteaux listed · verified entries first, then the most visited; alphabetical index at the bottom of the page

Of the 118 castles we list in Ardèche, these 31 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 31 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Renaissance, spread across 29 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Crussol (Crussol Castle) (open to visitors), Château de Montréal (Montréal Castle) (on the historic monuments register), Château de Hautségur (Hautségur Castle) (16th century), Château de Maisonseule (Maisonseule Castle) (103 reviews) and Ancien Palais des Evêques (a listed historic monument).

8 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 6 and the prices of 5 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 10 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Renaissance, with 31 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
