The Château de Lourmarin is a Renaissance castle in the commune of Lourmarin in the Vaucluse department. It is considered the first Renaissance building in the region.

History+

The castle's origins trace back to the 12th century, when an older fortress stood on this site. In the 15th century, Foulques d'Agoult, chamberlain to King René of Anjou, had the castle built on these foundations. After 1526, Louis d’Agoult-Montauban and his wife Blanche de Lévis-Ventadour added a Renaissance wing, making the Château the first of its kind in Provence. By the end of the 16th century, the Créqui-Lesdiguières family, owners of the Château de La Tour d’Aigues, acquired the property. From then until the French Revolution, the castle remained uninhabited and fell into disrepair.
