About Château d'Aulan
Château d'Aulan is a medieval castle located in the village of Aulan in the Drôme department of southeastern France. The castle dates back to the 12th century and has undergone several modifications and additions over the centuries, including the construction of a keep, a chapel, and a fortified entrance gate. During the Hundred Years' War, the castle was besieged and damaged by English troops. In the 16th century, it was partially destroyed during the Wars of Religion, and in the 17th century, it was used as a quarry for building materials. In the 20th century, the castle was restored by the town of Aulan, and it now serves as a cultural center and a venue for events such as concerts, exhibitions, and weddings. Visitors can explore the castle's interior, including the keep and the chapel, and admire the views from the top of the tower. The castle is open to visitors from April to November and offers guided tours in French and English. The surrounding village of Aulan is also worth exploring, with its charming streets, traditional stone houses, and picturesque setting in the Drôme countryside.
