Origin and history

The Logis de Malet is a historical monument located in Saint-Émilion, New Aquitaine, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages. The current structure is the result of major transformations in the 18th century, with interiors also redesigned in the 19th century. This building, coupled with the city's northern ramparts, consists of three distinct parts: a central house with a later gallery, buildings to the east now housing a museum, and an 18th century west wing converted into housing. The remains of medieval buildings remain, although partially modified by later renovations.

The house was registered in the Historical Monuments by decree of 26 November 2012, covering the entire structure (cadastre AP 248). Owned by the commune of Saint-Émilion, it is located on Rue des Écoles and Place Pierre-Meyrat, with an approximate GPS address at 463 Rue des Anciens Écoles. The accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), and the site seems open to various uses, such as visits, room rentals or guest rooms, although these details are not explicitly confirmed in available sources.

Architecturally, the Logis de Malet illustrates the evolution of urban homes in Saint-Émilion, where medieval buildings have often been adapted to the needs of later times. Its integration into the city walls underlines its historical importance in the urban fabric, while the transformations of the 18th and 19th centuries reflect the social and aesthetic changes of these periods. Today's museum buildings also demonstrate the desire to preserve and enhance this local heritage.

Available sources, including Monumentum and Merimée data, provide administrative and descriptive information, such as the Insee code of the municipality (33394, Gironde) and mention of its protection in 2012. However, the details of its current use or accessibility remain partial, limiting the accuracy of the practical information for visitors.
