Origin and history
The German House is located on 3 rue de la République, in the commune of Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt, in Vaucluse. Built or rebuilt around 1725, it was commissioned by the noble François de Bermond, lord of Vachères, squire and rich local owner. Bermond's line died in 1742, and the house was sold in two lots in 1750: one to Denis Génin, tailor, and the other to Antoine Gay, owner of an oil mill.
The entrance door and its vental, remarkable elements of the building, were listed as historical monuments on 26 March 1934. These protections underline the heritage value of these architectural components, typical of the eighteenth century Provencal.
Although the house changed hands after the disappearance of the Bermond family, its history reflected the social and economic dynamics of Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt at that time, where nobles, artisans and local owners coexisted. Today, it remains a testament to the civil architecture of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
