Origin and history

The third quarter of the 17th century building, located in Puy-en-Velay, was a building representative of the civil architecture of the period. In 1905, he was demolished to enlarge the ascent of the Pelerins, leaving only his adorned door and a key of arched under a cross between the dogives, disappeared after 1930. These elements, including the central mascaron, evoked a stylistic influence close to the Aix sculptures, suggesting the existence of a local school inspired by linguistic or Catalan currents.

The preserved door had simple bosses supporting a pediment open under an arc of circle, characteristic of regional baroque achievements. Although the building was partially destroyed, its door was classified as Historic Monument by order of 16 September 1949, testifying to its heritage value. Today, only documentary and photographic remains, such as those captured by Pymuss under a Creative Commons license, make it possible to appreciate the old prestige.

The exact address of the building, 4 rue Séguret (or 2 rue Séguret according to GPS sources), places the monument in the historic heart of Puy-en-Velay, a city marked by its religious past and its role on pilgrimage paths. However, the accuracy of its location is considered poor (note 5/10), reflecting the uncertainties associated with its partial disappearance and subsequent urban transformations.
