Bastide de Montgolfier-la-Tour-du-Pin, Protected historical estate in Le Merlan, France.

The Montgolfier-la-Tour-du-Pin estate includes a main building, farm structures, two windmills, and a landscaped park within the 14th district of Marseille.

Built in the mid-19th century, this estate received partial historical monument classification in 1993, protecting its facades, roofs, and surrounding park elements.

The property functions as an educational farm managed by the city of Marseille, offering agricultural and environmental learning activities to visitors.

The site remains closed to the public due to deterioration, with protective fencing surrounding the park area requiring maintenance and repairs.

Two tower-type windmills without mechanisms stand on the property, formerly used for flour production during their operational period.
