Description
The castle is made up of three levels and has an L -shaped shape, with three square towers at each of its angles. The small courtyard is cut by two pink and white marble turrets arranged in checkerboard. Inside, there is a staircase with straight ramps and pink marble balusters. On the west side of the castle, a chapel dating from the 17th century is present. This building was built by Jean-Louis de Binos, Lord of Signan, a man in arms who would have withdrawn at the end of his life in his house in Guran, where he would have died in 1659. In this place was a feudal castle, the fief of Guran, who was part of the county of Commingge.
