Comment

The castle was built in the 11th century, for the lords of Baux. During the 2 centuries that followed, Les Baux was an important place between culture and politics in medieval Provence due to the power of the ruling family, although it was often hit by local wars, notably the Baussenque wars that raged between 1145 and 1162 for the succession of Provence. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Château_des_Baux
