Château de Sauvan

Description

The Château de Sauvan is an 18th-century French manor located in the commune of Mane. The gardens of the chateau are classified as one of the Remarkable Gardens of France by the French Ministry of Culture. Today it is privately owned.

The château was built between 1719 and 1720 by Marquis Joseph Palamède de Forbin-Janson, on a plan of the architect Jean-Baptiste Franque from Avignon.

The château is in the form of classical one-story rectangle, with a balcony supported by four columns and a triangular pediment. The roof is hidden behind a balustrade. During the French Revolution the pediment was damaged by hammers, but otherwise the building suffered little damage.
