Château de Villeneuve, Medieval castle in Vence, France
The Château de Villeneuve stands near a 12th-century watchtower along the ancient ramparts of Vence in the Alpes-Maritimes department.
Built in the 17th century, this castle served as the residence for the Villeneuve lords, who held the titles of Counts of Provence and lords of Vence.
The castle now functions as the Emile Hugues Foundation, presenting exhibitions that honor artists such as Matisse, Dufy, Chagall, and Dubuffet who worked in Vence.
Visitors can explore the contemporary art exhibitions at the castle by accessing the official website museedevence.com for current schedules and information.
The former deputy-mayor of Vence and minister Émile Hugues donated this castle to the commune, transforming it from a private residence into a public cultural center.
