Right at the top of the village there is a dominating fortress castle which in former times once belonged to the uncle of the Marquis de Sade. Built originally in the XII°C and then transformed into the fortress in the XV°C, the castle was abandoned during the French Revolution to be restored in the XIX°C. www.provenceweb.fr/e/vaucluse/saumane/saumane.htm
