Timeline

Origin and history

The old Alby House is a monument located in the town of Albi, in the Occitan region. Although its name evokes a long history, the available sources do not specify its period of construction or its original use. This type of building, often linked to traditional housing or a public service, generally reflects local architecture and past lifestyles.

In southwestern France, and particularly in Occitanie, ancient houses often reflect the influence of local materials such as brick or stone. In Albi, a city marked by its medieval and reborn heritage, these buildings were part of a dense urban fabric, where trade, crafts and community life were a daily routine. Monuments such as this could be used as a dwelling, workshop or assembly place, depending on the times.
