Origin and history

The Presbytery of Lorgues is a historical monument located in the commune of Lorgues, in the department of Var (83), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Built in the 18th century, it embodies the religious architecture of this period, marked by classical and local influences. The building is now the property of a private company, and its portal, including the vantals, was entered in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 16 November 1949.

The location of the presbytery at 34 Rue de la Bourgade reflects its integration into the historical urban fabric of Lorgues. Although the information on its current use is limited (open to the public, rental, or unspecified guest rooms), its ranking underlines its role in the local heritage. The region, in modern times, was marked by a rural and artisanal economy, where religious buildings served as community and spiritual centres.

Available data, from sources such as Monumentum and the Merimée database, indicate a "passable" location accuracy (note 5/10). No additional information is provided on any restoration work, historic owners, or significant events related to this presbytery. Its inscription in the title of Historical Monuments remains the most documented fact, attesting to its architectural and cultural value.
