Origin and history

The Château de Chanteraine is a building located in the commune of Aiguines in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or the details of its history. This monument therefore remains partially mysterious for local historians.

In the regional context, the castles of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur have often played a defensive or residential role, reflecting the strategic or social needs of medieval and modern times. In Aiguines, as in other perched villages, these buildings could serve as surveillance points or seigneurial residences, integrated into the economic and agricultural life of the surrounding communities.
