Origin and history

The castle of Roubion is a medieval castle built in the 12th century, located in the village of Roubion, in the Alpes-Maritimes. It is erected on a rock called "the Castel bar", overlooking the village, giving it a strategic and defensive position.

The castle was first mentioned at the end of the 12th century. In the 13th century it belonged to the brothers Guillaume and Raimond Rostaing, co-teachers of Beuil, who exercised justice there. This monument was therefore a symbol of seigneurial power in the area.

Subsequently, the castle entered into the heritage of the Grimaldi family of Beuil after the marriage of Astroge de Beuil with Andaron Grimaldi. In 1691, during the war of the Augsburg League, the castle and the village were burned and looted by the French troops of the Marquis de Vins. Today, only the bases of the four towers and the remains of the walls of the enclosure remain.

The castle of Roubion was inscribed in historical monuments by decree of 22 December 1941, thus recognizing its heritage and historical importance.
