Origin and history

The Château de Bézaudun-les-Alpes is a building located in the commune of Bézaudun-les-Alpes, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Although classified as a monument, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. Its existence, however, bears witness to the local architectural heritage, typical of the perched villages of this region.

In the Alpes-Maritimes, castles and fortifications often played a central role in the social and defensive organization of communities. These buildings served as shelters, administrative centres or power symbols for local lords. Their presence reflected the strategic and economic challenges of the region, marked by exchanges between the valleys and the Mediterranean coast.
