Origin and history

The 15th century House, located in Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne in Corrèze, is a typical example of medieval civil architecture. Built on the site of the old ramparts belt, it combines defensive elements with a living structure. Its second floor, in corbellation, is characterized by wooden panels and torchi, while its roof is covered with flat tiles. These construction techniques reflect the local know-how of the 15th and 18th centuries, periods identified for its construction or modification phases.

The house was partially classified as Monument Historique by order of 22 August 1949, with a specific protection on its façade and roof. This official recognition underscores its heritage interest, linked to its integration into the historic urban fabric of Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne. The building, located in Bridolle Square, also illustrates the architectural evolution of the city, marked by the reuse of medieval defensive structures for civilian purposes. Its current state and its approximate location (diagnostic accuracy estimated at 5/10) make it a partial but significant witness of the local urban past.
