The Château de Lourmarin is the first Renaissance castle in the region, built on the ruins of a 12th century medieval fortress. The main body of the castle was built between 1480 and 1526 by the Agoult family in a late Gothic style. In 1920, the castle, which had fallen into ruins and was threatened with destruction, was saved and restored by Robert Laurent-Vibert, a Lyon industrialist passionate about history and art. Today, it belongs to the Academy of Sciences, Agriculture, Arts and Belles-Lettres of Aix-en-Provence and has become a major cultural center.
