Origin and history
The Monluc Hotel, located in Agen, is a monument whose origins date back to at least the fourteenth century. Its architecture and subsequent transformations, especially in the 16th and 19th centuries, reflect the stylistic and functional evolutions of the civil buildings of this period. Although internal sources do not specify its initial use, its sustainability suggests an important role in local life.
In Agen, as in many cities of New Aquitaine, private hotels of the 14th and 16th centuries often served as residences for influential families or notables. These buildings were symbols of economic and social power, while participating in urban structure. In the 19th century, many were modernized to adapt to new needs, while retaining ancient architectural elements.
