Origin and history

The Maison d'Estienne du Bourguet is a monument located in La Tour-d'Aigues, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Built in the second half of the seventeenth century, it represents an architectural example of this period in southern France. Specific details of its history, owners or initial functions are not mentioned in available sources.

At that time, Provence was marked by a rural and artisanal society, where bourgeois houses like this could belong to local notables. These buildings often served as residences for affluent families, while reflecting the stylistic influences of the late Renaissance or emerging classicism. Their presence in the villages strengthened the social and economic hierarchy of the region.
