Origin and history

The building in Manosque, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, is a 17th-century civil building. He is distinguished by his inscription in the title of Historical Monuments, formalized by a decree of 10 March 1987. This building, whose protected elements are referenced under cadastres BP 394 and 406, illustrates the architectural heritage of the city at that time, although its precise history remains little documented in the available sources.

The location of the building is specified at two addresses: the Grande-Rue (numbers 5 and 7) and the rue Tore, in the centre of Manosque. GPS coordinates and Merimée data confirm its location at 10 rue Grande. Owned by a private company, its access to the public (visits, rental, accommodation) is not mentioned, reflecting potential residential or commercial use. The accuracy of its location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), suggesting margins of uncertainty in geographic data.

The 17th century in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur is marked by a period of reconstruction and urban beautification, following the disturbances of the wars of Religion. The buildings of that time, often constructed of local stone, served both as homes for wealthy families and as places for artisanal or commercial activities. Their preservation today bears witness to the importance attached to this heritage, although their individual history is sometimes poorly known, as is the case for this manosquin building.
