Chateau de Barbentane, Castle and historical monument in Barbentane, France.
Chateau de Barbentane is a manor house shaped by Italian baroque influences, located in a small Provençal village. Marble decorations adorn the exterior, and wide terraces offer views across the valley toward the surrounding hills.
The building was constructed in 1674 as a country residence for a wealthy family and received structural refinements in the mid-1700s that enhanced its style. These changes blended the original structure with contemporary design elements of that era.
The name comes from the Barbentane family, whose members shaped this residence into a center of refinement and taste. The rooms inside reflect how wealthy families lived during the 1700s, with furnishings and details that speak to their social standing.
The residence is privately owned today and not open for public visits. You can still admire the exterior, gardens, and terraces from outside while exploring the village and surrounding countryside around it.
The residence served as a filming location for television productions from the 1970s onward. Its elegant setting and architectural character made it appealing to filmmakers seeking authentic period backdrops.
