Timeline

Origin and history

The building located at 55 rue Denfert-Rochereau in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is a building built between the late 17th century (4th quarter) and the early 18th century (1st quarter). It illustrates the civil architecture of this period in Provence, marked by decorative elements such as wrought iron ramps and ornamental niches. Its classification as Historic Monument in 1984 specifically protects its facades, roofs, staircase with cage, as well as a niche located in the garden, reflecting the heritage importance of these architectural details.

The location of the building, in the centre of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, is in a dynamic urban context, typical of the Provencal cities of the modern era. These buildings often served as residences for wealthy families or local notables, playing a role in the social and economic structure of the city. Their preservation allows us today to understand the lifestyles and construction techniques of this time, while highlighting the built heritage of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

The registration order of 21 December 1984 highlights the historical and artistic value of this building, whose protected elements (such as the wrought iron ramp) are representative of the artisanal know-how of the 17th and 18th centuries. The accuracy of its location, although considered mediocre (note of 5/10), remains sufficient to identify its anchoring in the urban fabric of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, commune of the department of Vaucluse.
