Château Saint-Jeannet, Medieval castle in La Gaude, France
The fortress stands on elevated ground northwest of Nice, featuring defensive walls, an observatory tower, and traditional architectural elements of French castles.
Records indicate the presence of this strategic site since the 13th century, with evidence suggesting earlier Templar occupation during the 9th and 10th centuries.
The castle underwent extensive renovation work in 2009, transforming from Château de la Gaude to its current name while maintaining historical architectural elements.
The property faces ongoing legal challenges regarding unauthorized construction work, leading to mandated demolitions of certain sections by French authorities.
Archaeological research conducted during renovations revealed the original fortress layout, which influenced the current placement of roads and defensive structures.
