Origin and history

Châteauneuf-Villevieille is a building located in the municipality of the same name, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. This monument, whose exact period of construction is not specified in the available sources, embodies the local architectural heritage. Its name evokes a medieval foundation, typical of the perched villages of the region.

In the Provencal context, castles of this type often served as defence points or seigneurial residences. They were integrated into community life, sometimes with administrative or military functions. The local population then lived mainly in agriculture, livestock and small businesses, in a territory marked by Mediterranean reliefs and trade.
