Château de Tallard

The Château de Tallard, in the Hautes-Alpes, dates back to the 10th century. Originally a small fortress under the protection of the Princes of Orange, it was expanded into a castle in the 14th century. Over the centuries, it was enhanced with a grand hall, a Gothic chapel, and a fortified entrance.

The castle suffered damage during the Wars of Religion and was later restored by various owners. It was abandoned after being burned in 1692 but revived in the 20th century. The town of Tallard purchased it in 1957, leading to ongoing restorations.

Today, the château, a historic monument since 1969, is undergoing further renovations to host cultural events. It features defensive walls, round towers, a chapel, a guardhouse, and a partially ruined keep.
