Château de La Colle Noire, 19th century castle in Montauroux, France.

The castle stands on a hill at the entrance of Pays de Fayence, featuring two square towers and extensive gardens overlooking the plains of Montauroux.

Henri-Emmanuel Poulle constructed the residence between 1858 and 1861, adding a chapel dedicated to Saint Anne in reference to his daughter Anne-Victoire.

Christian Dior acquired the property in 1950, transforming it with architect Andreï Svetchine and creating gardens filled with May roses and Grasse jasmine.

The castle, purchased by Parfums Christian Dior in 2013, underwent restoration starting in 2015 and reopened on May 9, 2016.

The property includes a 45-meter ornamental water mirror designed by Christian Dior and features an asymmetrical south facade in 1940s Provençal style.
