About Château des Templiers
In the spa town of Gréoux-les-Bains in Haute-Provence, the Château des Templiers is a fine medieval fortress that dominates the village from its rocky height. Founded by the Knights Templar in the 12th and 13th centuries and later held by the Knights of Malta, this austere stronghold with its stout walls and towers recalls the age of the crusading orders. Carefully restored, it now hosts cultural events, concerts and exhibitions in a magnificent setting, its terraces offering fine views over the town and the surrounding lavender-scented countryside of the Verdon. Historic, atmospheric and beautifully sited, the Château des Templiers is a proud symbol of Gréoux-les-Bains, blending the memory of the Templars with the gentle charms of a Provençal spa town at the gateway to the Verdon gorges.
