Origin and history

The Mokopeïta House is a monument located in the town of Urrugne, in the New Aquitaine region. Although its name and location are attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or exact historical use. This type of building, often linked to traditional housing or to specific functions in Basque villages, could reflect local architecture and lifestyles in the region.

In the Basque Country, traditional houses played a central role in the social and economic organization of communities. They often served as places of life, work (agriculture, crafts) and sometimes as a gathering point. Their preservation today bears witness to the cultural and architectural heritage of this border region, marked by a strong identity and cross-border exchanges with Spain.
