The Château de Guillaumes, also known as the Château de la Reine Jeanne, represents a model of military architecture from the 13th to 18th centuries, under three different sovereignties (Comte de Provence, Royaume de France, and Royaume de Piemont Sardaigne).

Around 1235, Raymond Beranger had the south square tower built. Towards the end of the 14th century, the Counts of Provence built the round north tower. In 1562, Charles IX, King of France, established a military garrison in this former royal city. From 1700 to 1706, the château was fortified by Vauban. Following the Treaty of Turin in 1760, the town was ceded to the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia and the castle partially dismantled, before being definitively returned to France in 1860.
Because of its heritage interest and its importance to local development, the Château de la Reine Jeanne was selected as part of the Bern Mission to safeguard endangered heritage.
Today, on leaving the prestigious red gorges de Daluis et du Cians circuit, it is possible to see the remains of medieval origin, as the constructions built by Vauban were largely destroyed in 1760 following the Treaty of Turin. The 3D augmented reality application offers an immersive experience of the reconstruction of the château and its fortifications in Vauban's time, in the 18th century.
The castle site and surrounding wooded area have been listed since 1931.
