Origin and history

The house at 107 Grande-Rue au Mans is a monument whose most notable element is a wooden post decorated with a statue, located at the corner of the building. This architectural detail led to its classification as Historic Monument by ministerial decree of 12 August 1945. Although the exact construction period is not specified, this official protection underscores its local heritage importance.

The building is located in the city centre of Le Mans, Sarthe, an area marked by a rich medieval past and preserved architecture. Half-timbered houses or wooden elements, such as this post, were common in French cities in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. They often reflected the social status of their owners or served as urban landmarks. Today, this house is part of an urban fabric where historical heritage borders modern life.

The information available on this monument comes mainly from the Merimée base and sources like Monumentum. Its exact address, 107 Grande-Rue, is confirmed, although the accuracy of its geographical location is considered poor (note of 5/10). No indication is given of its accessibility to the public, its current uses (visit, rental, accommodation) or its detailed history before the 1945 ranking.
