Château de Vinezac

En un regard

Le château en bref

Vinezac is a fortified village in the Ardèche classed among the ‘villages of character’, and it has several distinct castle buildings. The Château Jullien, in the centre of the village, retains a square keep from the late twelfth or early thirteenth century, as well as residential wings built in the seventeenth century by Louis de Jullien. It formed part of the castral ring of Largentière, which protected the nearby silver mines. The Château de Charbonnel (or Chardonnel), also in the heart of the village, features mullioned windows and a sculpted portico from the nineteenth century. To the north of the village, the ruins of the Château de la Motte survive. As there is no certain identification of the building specifically concerned by this entry among these homonymous structures, the information above is presented as general heritage context for the village.
