Origin and history

Enferrus Fort House is a monument located in the commune of Lannes, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. This type of construction, often linked to a defensive or residential function, bears witness to a local architectural heritage whose precise historical details are not documented in the available sources. Strong houses, typical of certain French regions, were generally used as refuges or residences for noble or bourgeois families.

In New Aquitaine, these buildings were often part of a network of small fiefs or local seigneuries, reflecting a social organization marked by feudality or transition to more modern structures. Their presence also illustrates protection needs in areas sometimes exposed to conflict or local tensions.
