Origin and history

The Hotel de Suze, located in Mondragon in the department of Vaucluse, is a monument dated from the 1st quarter of the 16th century. This building, whose facade and roof have been inscribed in the Historical Monuments since 1949, bears witness to the civil architecture of the Renaissance in Provence. Its location, at 8 rue Perrot, reflects the urban planning of this time in a commune marked by its medieval and reborn history.

At the beginning of the 16th century, the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, then in full transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, saw the development of urban residences for local elites. These private hotels, like the Hotel de Suze, served both as accommodations and as prestige symbols for their owners. Mondragon, close to Avignon, enjoyed a strategic position between the Provençal influences and those of the papacy, promoting the emergence of a refined architecture.

The partial protection of the monument in 1949 underscores its heritage importance, although the available sources do not specify its original use or its potential historic owners.
