Description

A landmark of Ardèche civil architecture, the Château d'Aubenas, also called the Château de Montlaur, is located in the commune of Aubenas, in the department of Ardèche and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This "building of metamorphoses" bears the mark of the six seigneurial families who inhabited it from the 13th century until the Revolution.

It has been listed as a historic monument since 2 March 1943.

In 2024, after seven years of works, the Château d'Aubenas, the most iconic monument of the Ardèche town, became a centre for contemporary art.
