The Château de Lacoste: A historical gem overlooking the village, linked to the Marquis de Sade and restored by Pierre Cardin.

The Château de Lacoste: Perhaps the most well-known castle in the northern Luberon, the Château de Lacoste is situated at the top of the village. Its origins are traced back to the 11th century. Like many of the castles in the surrounding area, it is perched on a hill.

While its fame is linked to the most famous mischief-maker, the divine Marquis, or Marquis de Sade, his family, the de Sades, did not become owners until 1716. In fact, it remained the property of the Simiane family for many years, one of the main noble families in the northern Luberon area along with the d'Agoults. The divine Marquis is attributed with three main stays: first, from 1769 to 1772, between the scandals of Arcueil and Marseille. Then, five years later, before his imprisonment in the Vincennes keep. Finally, after his escape in 1778, from July 16th to September 7th.

The castle is described in at least two of his works, "The 120 Days of Sodom" and "The Marquise de Ganges." In these two works, the Divine Marquis refers to it as the "château de Silling."

In 2001, fashion designer Pierre Cardin purchased the castle. Pierre Cardin then began the restoration of the main tower of the castle, as well as its surroundings.

The Château de Lacoste in the Luberon should not be confused with the Château de Lacoste in Salviac, Lot, or the Château de Lacoste in the heart of the Périgord Noir and the Dordogne Valley (an 18th-century castle with a beautiful rose garden and an ancient chapel).
