Origin and history
The Maison du Roi des Baux-de-Provence is a historical monument located in the commune of Baux-de-Provence, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department. Ranked by ministerial decree in 1905, this building bears the name of "Remnants of the King's House", evoking its link to local seigneurial history. Its location, in the heart of the village, suggests a past importance in the urban and social organization of the medieval city.
The Baux-de-Provence, an emblematic perched village in the region, was a strategic place in the Middle Ages, dominated by its fortress and castle. The seigneurial houses, such as the so-called "king house", reflected the power of the local lords and their role in territorial management. Today, this monument, owned by the municipality, bears witness to medieval civil architecture and the legacy of the Baux, a noble family that has marked Provencal history.
No specific information is available on its original use or occupants, but its classification in 1905 underscores its heritage value.
