Castle of Guillaumes, Medieval fortress in Guillaumes, France.
The castle stands at 875 meters altitude, overlooking the confluence of the Var and Tuebi rivers with a quadrangular keep and circular tower.
Raymond Beranger ordered the construction of the southern square tower in 1235, initiating a series of expansions under three different sovereignties until the 18th century.
The site demonstrates the evolution of military construction techniques, particularly with the modifications implemented by engineer Vauban between 1693 and 1700.
An augmented reality application enables visitors to visualize the original structure of the castle and its fortifications as they existed in the 18th century.
The castle endured three major changes in sovereignty, transferring from the County of Provence to the Kingdom of France, then to the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia.
