Château de Suze-la-Rousse, Medieval castle in Suze-la-Rousse, France
The castle stands on a rocky outcrop, featuring defensive walls with crenellations, towers, and a Renaissance courtyard with decorated arches.
Built in the 12th century, the fortress belonged to three Provençal families: the Counts of Orange, the Lords of Les Baux, and the Marchioness of Bryas.
The interior rooms display Renaissance architectural elements, including painted decorations, stucco work, and a monumental 16th-century fireplace in the reception hall.
The castle houses the Wine University since 1978, offering educational programs, tastings, and specialized courses for wine professionals and enthusiasts.
The castle grounds include a 23-hectare park called Garenne and nine gardens dedicated to grape varieties, along with a 1564 jeu de paume court.
