Villa for rent Provence for 14 people
Exterior
The history of the stronghold of Gignac dates back to the 11th century when we find the quotation of "Gigniacum". In the 12th century, Guillaume de Sabran took over the southern half of the county of Forcalquier, of which Gignac was a part. Having become the seigneury of Agoult in the 13th century, the estate passed through many hands and returned in the 16th century to the Thomas family who would remain the owner until the French revolution.
We know that an old medieval castle was present in Gignac. Fortified by Barthélémy de Thomas, it would have been ruined during the religious wars which took place in France in the 16th century, and therefore would have been rebuilt at the beginning of the 17th century. The current castle is said to have been built in the 18th century (between 1760 and 1780), shortly before the French revolution.
