Origin and history

The Manor House of La Bâtie is a monument located in the commune of Agnin, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Although its period of construction is not specified in the available sources, its name and architecture suggest a medieval or post-medieval origin, typical of the seigneurial or agricultural residences of the region. Such manor houses often played a central role in the rural organisation, serving as a place of residence for landowners or administrative centre for surrounding farms.

In Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, these buildings reflected the local social and economic dynamics, marked by agriculture, livestock farming and, according to time, artisanal activities. Their preservation today offers a material testimony of past lifestyles and hierarchies.
