chateau de barbarin

This beautiful castle from the 14th to the 18th centuries is adorned with a round tower, and was embellished by the Marquis of Marcieu who was the Governor of the Dauphiné county. This was also an ex stronghold for the Lords of the village of Revel. The castle, its terrace and gardens are listed as French Historical Monuments.
This MH-protected estate consists of a fortified house built in the 14th century by François de Revel, whose castle needed an observatory. This fortified house with its round tower evolved into a charming château in the 18th century, in response to the desire for hospitality of Laurent-Joseph Emé de Saint-Jullien, Marquis de Marcieu, governor of Grenoble, when he visited his estates in southern Dauphiné and Viennois. The living room with its gypseries, the large kitchen with its murals and monumental fireplace, the staircase and the 15th-century paintings will delight you. Owners live here all year round. Set in a large landscape created in the 18th century, the château overlooks a terrace offering a remarkable view of the plain as far as the Vercors.
