Barroux Castle, Medieval castle in Le Barroux, France.

The stone fortress stands on a hill between Carpentras and Vaison-la-Romaine, offering views of Mont Ventoux and the Vaucluse mountains.

Built in the 12th century to protect against Saracen invasions, the castle underwent renovations in the 16th century and suffered fire damage in 1944.

The castle's chapel contains 18th-century wall paintings that display religious and artistic elements from the region's past.

The castle opens seasonally to visitors, with guided tours of the distillery available for guests over ten years old.

The Vayson de Pradenne family, owners since 1929, maintain a distillery within the castle walls, continuing local production traditions.
