Château de Murs

France, France

---

Château de Murs is a historic castle perched above the village of Murs in the Vaucluse region of Provence, France.

Its construction spans several centuries, from the 12th to the 18th century, beginning as a fortified stronghold built by the d'Agoult family before gradually evolving into a more refined noble residence. The castle was expanded by the Astouaud family during the 15th and 16th centuries, adding important features such as a keep, a Gothic chapel, and a hall of justice.

In the 18th century, gardens and an impressive wrought-iron gate were added, reflecting the estate’s growing status and comfort. After falling into decline and suffering damage during the French Revolution, the château was restored in the 19th and 20th centuries by the Vayson family. Today, it remains a privately owned landmark, admired for its blend of medieval and Renaissance architecture and its commanding views over the Provençal countryside.
