Château de Marignane, Medieval castle in Marignane, France
The castle features a square layout with a central courtyard surrounded by arcades and an Italian-style facade adorned with columns and loggias.
The Lords of Baux built the castle in the 11th century, and Jean-Baptiste de Covet purchased it in 1603 to transform it into a palace.
The interior contains notable paintings by Jean Daret and the Coltrini brothers, along with fireplaces sculpted by Jean-Louis Michel during the 17th century.
The castle, which now serves as Marignane's town hall, opens to visitors during regular municipal administrative office hours.
The 1664 renovation incorporated a tennis court in the former stable area, reflecting the leisure activities of Provençal nobility.
