It used to be the residence of the Cogolin Lords. There were 5 of them
between 1626 and the Revolution without including their descendants!
The first one was Henri de Cuers. He purchased part of the Seigneury
of Cogolin for 3,000 ECUs, as vouched for in the sales act conserved
in the department Archives of the Var. The other half belonged to Chevaliers
de Malte. The new owner was thus known as Monsieur de Cogolin. It was
however his son Jaques de Cuers, a naval officer, great adventurer and
Fleet Commander under Louis XIV, who bought the Château. It changed
ownership several times up to the 1960's. The Sellier family then
undertook its restoration and donated it to the municipality in 1982. |
