Origin and history

The Castrum de la Motte des Baumes is a monument located in the commune of La Roquebrussanne, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Although its appellation of castrum suggests a medieval origin, often linked to a defensive site or fortified habitat, the available sources do not specify its period of construction or its detailed history. In the regional context, castrums were generally defence points or clusters of habitat, reflecting the feudal or community organization of the Middle Ages.

These structures played a central role in the protection of local populations and in the management of surrounding lands, often linked to agricultural or pastoral activities.
