Bastide de la Guillermy, 17th century residential building in Les Aygalades, Marseille, France
The Bastide de la Guillermy features three distinctive turrets with glazed tiles, standing alongside the A7 highway in northern Marseille.
The de Guillermy family constructed this grand residence in 1689 on land previously owned by 16th-century poet Jean de La Ceppède.
The bastide served as accommodation for notable guests including Paul Barras and Princess Françoise of Orléans before becoming a police station until 2004.
The building underwent extensive restoration work starting in 2012, focusing on preserving its architectural elements and rehabilitating its damaged structure.
Despite the construction of the A7 motorway during World War II that divided its grounds, the bastide remains one of Provence's rare examples of glazed tile roofing.
