Origin and history

The log houses at 7 Rue Notre-Dame in Lusignan date back to the 16th century. They represent an example of the traditional civil architecture of this period, marked by the use of visible wooden structures. These houses are located in the Department of Vienna, in the New Aquitaine region, and their precise location has been assessed as fair (note 5/10) according to available data.

These houses were partially protected by an order of 28 June 1927, which inscribed their facades as historical monuments. They now belong to a private company, and their current use (visit, rental, guest rooms) is not specified in the sources. Their official address, according to the Merimée base, is 7 rue Notre-Dame, although GPS coordinates suggest a close location, on 13 of the same street.

The department of Vienna, where Lusignan is located, was historically integrated into the Poitou-Charentes region before joining New Aquitaine. In the 16th century, this region was marked by a rural and artisanal economy, where wood-paned houses were often used as homes for local merchants or artisans. These buildings reflected both the techniques of the time and the social status of their owners.
