Château de La Verdière, Medieval fortress in La Verdière, France.
The castle extends over multiple levels with towers, terraces, and large ceremonial rooms decorated with ornate plasterwork throughout its vast interior spaces.
Built in 980 by the Castellane family, the fortress controlled the route from Arles to Castellane before becoming the property of the Forbin counts in 1613.
The castle exhibits architectural elements from different periods, featuring medieval military structures and later aristocratic additions from the 18th century renovations.
Guided tours operate every afternoon during summer months except Mondays, with special candlelit evening visits available on Fridays including cocktails.
The largest private castle in Provence underwent a complete restoration in 2003, preserving its historical features while making it suitable for modern habitation.
