The Château du Grand-Saint-Jean is a listed chateau in Puyricard, Bouches-du-Rhône, France.
Location
It is located in Puyricard, a former village now part of the city of Aix-en-Provence, in Provence.[1][2][3] It is located 30 kilometers away from the centre of Aix.[3] It can be accessed via the Chemin du Grand-Saint-Jean.[4]
History
The construction of the first chateau and the chapel began in the eleventh century.[1][2] In 1564, King Charles IX of France (1550–1574), Catherine de' Medici (1519–1589) and Henry IV of France (1553–1610) visited the chateau.[5]
The current chateau was built from 1583 to 1591 by Antoine Laurens and Esprit Boyer.[5] In 1622, King Louis XIII of France (1601–1643) visited the chateau.[5] Four decades later, in 1660, King Louis XIV of France (1638–1715) was also a guest.[5]
In 1933, Blanche d'Estienne de Saint-Jean, the heiress to the estate, donated the chateau and its grounds to the city of Aix-en-Provence.[6]
Since the 1990s, an outdoors theatre has been one of the venues of the Aix-en-Provence Festival.[2][3][5] In 2013, Portuguese composer Vasco Mendonça created an opera based at the Château du Grand-Saint-Jean.[5] It is called, The House Taken Over.[5]
