Origin and history

The building of Castillon-du-Gard is a monument dating back to the X, XII, XIV and XV centuries. Located in the Gard department, it bears witness to the architectural evolution of the region through several medieval periods. Its facades and roofs, inscribed in the Historical Monuments by decree of 20 September 1972, reflect stylistic features specific to these periods, although the precise details of its construction or its initial uses are not explicitly documented in the available sources.

The location of this building at 10 Rue Turion Sabatier in Castillon-du-Gard suggests integration into the medieval urban fabric of the municipality. At that time, such buildings could be used for various functions, ranging from housing to craft or commercial activities, in connection with the economic and social life of the village. The Gard, then in Languedoc-Roussillon (now Occitanie), was marked by feudal organization and cultural exchanges between Provencal and southern influences. The partial registration of the building (Cadastre E 120, 124, 438) underlines its heritage importance, although the archives do not specify its exact role in local history.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum database, indicate a "passable" location accuracy (note 5/10), without providing additional information on any owners, sponsors or significant events related to the building. Its status as a Historical Monument, acquired in 1972, nevertheless guarantees its preservation as a witness to constructive techniques and medieval urban planning in the south of France. No mention is made of an opening to the public, a tourist vocation or contemporary developments.
