Origin and history
The château de Gouvernet, located in the commune of Saint-Sauveur-Gouvernet (Drôme), is a medieval vestige dating from the 15th century. Its ruins, classified as Historical Monument by decree of 7 May 1982, bear witness to a defensive architecture typical of this period. The site is referenced in the Mérimée database under INSEE 26329, attached to the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (formerly Rhône-Alpes).
The information available indicates that the castle is located precisely at 5 Montée du Château, although the cartographic accuracy varies according to the sources. No detailed historical data on its occupants, construction or exact role are mentioned in the accessible archives. Today, the monument features heritage protection to preserve its remains.
The Creative Commons license associated with a photograph of the site (credit: Marianne Casamance) suggests a documentary and tourist interest. However, no source specifies the conditions for visiting or the present state of the ruins beyond their protected status. The last update was in April 2024.
