Origin and history

The 16th century House, located in Orgon in the Bouches-du-Rhône, is an example of civil architecture of the Provencal Renaissance. This monument, listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1926, reflects the constructive and aesthetic characteristics of its time, although its detailed history remains little documented in the available sources.

The location of this house at 4 B Avenue Georges Coste in Orgon is attested by the data of the Merimée database. Its registration as a Historical Monument by decree of 28 December 1926 underlines its heritage importance, although information about its original use or its possible owners remains absent from the accessible archives.

In the 16th century, the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d的Azur was marked by a period of transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, with a development of commercial and cultural exchanges. Bourgeois houses, such as that of Orgon, often played a central role in the economic and social life of cities, serving as places of residence, commerce or crafts. Their preservation today offers a valuable testimony of this pivotal era.

Available sources, including Monumentum and Merimée data, provide administrative and geographic information, but little detail on the specific history of this building. The accuracy of its location is assessed as fair (level 5/10), which may indicate minor uncertainties in its exact location. No information is mentioned on its current accessibility, whether it be visits, rentals or accommodation.

The inscription of this house as a historical monument in 1926 demonstrates the desire to preserve an architectural heritage representative of 16th century Provence. However, the absence of detailed sources limits the understanding of its precise role in local history or its possible transformations over the centuries.
