Château de Javon, Historical castle in Lioux, France.
The northern facade of Château de Javon features a semicircular arched portal crowned by a Renaissance gable and decorated with ornamental crenellations.
In 1475, Pope Leo X granted the Javon estate to François Baroncelli as recognition for his services, leading to the construction of the castle.
The Renaissance-style door and window in the courtyard reflect the architectural influence of the Baroncelli family, who originated from Tuscany.
The castle sits on elevated ground north of Lioux village, offering direct access to hiking paths in the Vaucluse mountains.
Two round turrets with stepped roofs flank the main facade, creating a distinctive architectural composition typical of Provençal Renaissance design.
