Built in the late 16ème century by a family from Provence related to Monseigneur du Laurens, famous archbishop of Arles, the castle stands out, on the noble floor, by an imposing central room, typical of Palladian constructions and a small oratory loaded with stucco. On the upper floors and especially on the ground floor, there are magnificent vaulted rooms.
Around 1750, it was acquired by the family of the current owner.
Originally, the castle and its annexes constituted a vast agricultural domain, extending over 150 hectares, made up of meadows, pastures for cows and sheep, woods and pond, cultivated land, mulberry plantations ...
These lands, with the exception of three and a half hectares, were expropriated by the Department in 1960 and 1963, to constitute the Departmental Park, a place for recreation and walks.
On the remaining 3 and a half hectares, is the castle itself, against which is leaned an imposing building composed of stables, barns and vaulted stables.
On par with the area, is an old sheepfold, restored and transformed into a reception room with frescoes.
The restoration have allowed the discovery of traces of a brickyard and a silkworm (for the breeding of silkworms.) These last practically disappeared are currently planted with Mediterranean species, such as palm trees, olive trees, laurels, lianas, etc.
