CHâteau des Templars
A legendary fortress between history, mystery and ultra-luxury
Côte d'Azur, France
Rising above the hills of the French Riviera, the Château des Templiers is one of the rarest and most impressive private castles in the south of France.
Founded in 1011, this thousand-year-old fortress has served for centuries as a strategic point between the Mediterranean and the interior of Provence. According to historical chronicles, the owners of the estate maintained ties with the largest commercial and knightly dynasties of the region.
Over time, a special atmosphere of legend and mysticism formed around the castle.
One of the most famous legends is associated with the Order of the Templars. After the dissolution of the Order by Philip IV the Beautiful in the fourteenth century, some of the treasures of the Templars were secretly taken to the south of France to avoid confiscation by the crown.
Local legends say that one of the caravans found refuge in these mountains above the Mediterranean Sea. So far, closed underground galleries and hidden passageways are fueling rumors of lost Templar gold.
History or myth – it is this mysterious aura that makes Château des Templiers a truly unique European heritage site.
Completely renovated with uncompromising attention to detail, the castle today combines Europe’s historic heritage with a modern understanding of ultra-luxury lifestyle.
The residence is located on the territory of 3.8 hectares of Mediterranean gardens and offers absolute privacy, 360° panoramic views and an atmosphere of exceptional tranquility in the heart of the Côte d'Azur.
Large-scale reconstruction lasted more than three years and required the use of 17,000 m3 of unique white stone, brought from Portugal and hand-worked by craftsmen.
Behind the historic facades lies a state-of-the-art engineering infrastructure designed to maximize comfort for generations to come.
The interiors are individually designed using noble woods, exclusive textiles and furniture produced in France and the UK.
A special advantage of Château des Templiers is its strategic location on the Côte d'Azur:
Just 3 minutes by helicopter to Nice International Airport
- about 10 minutes flight to Monaco;
Instant access to all key events of the French Riviera.
The castle has a certified helipad for 3 helicopters with a permanent air corridor, which allows takeoffs and landings without the need to obtain separate permits for each flight - a privilege exceptionally rare for the Côte d'Azur.
The residence occupies five levels and includes:
master suite with an area of more than 110 m2 with a private terrace;
- several luxurious suites with panoramic views;
spacious areas for receptions and private dining;
Terraces for events up to 200 guests;
- infinity pool 19 meters with a countercurrent system;
- jacuzzi and pool house;
SPA tower with sauna, massage room and lounge-zone;
- a separate guest house;
- private heliport.
There are also more than 180 olive trees around 200 years old, producing premium quality organic olive oil, as well as an artesian well 250 meters deep.
Today, Château des Templiers is not just an exclusive private residence.
It is a rare trophy asset and a strategic tool for capital diversification in one of Europe’s most prestigious and secure markets.
The estate is regularly rented for ultra-private events during the Riviera’s major international events, including:
- Cannes Film Festival;
- Monaco Yacht Show;
Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco
Closed events of luxury, fashion, cinema and international business.
Over the years, Château des Templiers has hosted world celebrities and Hollywood stars, including Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Campbell and members of the international elite.
Château des Templiers is a true trophy asset for an ultra-high-net-worth clientele seeking absolute privacy, historical heritage, capital security and the art of living in the Mediterranean.
A rare opportunity to become the owner of a legend.
