Origin and history

The building at 173 Grand-Rue in Mazan is a monument representative of the architectural transformations between the Middle Ages and the modern era. Its current structure incorporates elements from the 14th and 19th centuries, reflecting the successive adaptations of an urban building throughout the eras. The building is particularly distinguished by its ancient door and vantals, as well as by a niche housing a statue, characteristics which motivated its inscription as a Historical Monument.

The official protection of this building dates from 1978, when the door with its vantals and niche with its statue (cadastral reference O 1079) were inscribed by ministerial decree. This heritage recognition underlines the importance of these decorative and structural elements, typical of Provencal buildings. The exact address, Grand'Rue in the centre of Mazan, places this monument at the heart of the historical fabric of the commune, in the department of Vaucluse.

The location of the building, although documented (GPS coordinates and mailing address), remains poor according to the criteria of the Merimée base. This geographical impreciseness contrasts with the wealth of architectural details preserved, as evidenced by the photographs available under Creative Commons license. The building, although protected, does not seem open to the public for regular visits, rentals or tourist accommodation, according to available information.
