Origin and history

The Château des Agôts is located in the hamlet of the same name, on the town of Amirat, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. This monument, whose construction period is not specified in the available sources, is part of a rural landscape marked by the medieval and modern history of the region. Its architecture and location suggest a potentially defensive or residential role, typical of such buildings in remote areas.

In the Provencal Alps, hamlets like the Agôts were often organized around fortified structures or seigneurial houses, serving as gathering points for local people. These buildings played a central role in the agricultural, social and sometimes strategic life of the communities, although the archives specific to this castle remain incomplete in current data.
