Château de Buoux, Medieval castle in Buoux, France
The castle stands on a rocky outcrop above the Aigue Brun valley, featuring Renaissance architecture with mullioned windows and a spiral staircase.
The Buoux-Pontevès family constructed the castle in the early 16th century along a strategic route connecting Aix-en-Provence to Apt.
The castle includes decorated reception rooms with plasterwork and a chapel adorned with painted decorations from the 1650s renovations.
The castle grounds span 51 hectares and currently serve as an educational center managed by the Luberon Regional Nature Park.
The site houses a Regional Wildlife Rescue Center, established in 1996, dedicated to rehabilitating injured wild animals from the region.
