Origin and history

The house in Ussel, in Corrèze, is a 16th century civil building, typical of Renaissance architecture in Limousin. It is distinguished by its facades and roofs, protected by a decree of inscription under the title of Historical Monuments in 1929. This ranking underscores his or her heritage interest, although details of his or her original history or occupants remain poorly documented in available sources.

Located on 6 rue de l'Église, this house is part of the urban landscape of Ussel, a city marked by its medieval past and its role as a commercial hub in New Aquitaine. In modern times, bourgeois houses like this often reflected the prosperity of local merchants or notables, while serving as a residence or a place for artisanal activities. Their preservation today offers an overview of the daily life and construction techniques of the time.
