Built in 1220 by Jean d'Aspres on the foundations of an 11th century castle. Modified in 17th century, the main Louis XVII building is set between two tours; it overlooks the valley du Drac.
Magnificent French-style ceilings and the black marble 16th century staircase illustrate the castle's fascinating history:

  • 6/7 September 1596 : meeting at Aspres of the reformed from Dauphiné and from Provence, asking the King for a decree in their favour (this resulted in the Edict of Nantes).
  • 1814: patronage of the Comte d'Artois, brother to Louis XVI and future Charles X.
  • 5 March 1815: reception of Napoleon in the chateau lounge, (on his return from Elba).
  • 1817: Pope Pious VII met the Chatelain d'Aspres
