Origin and history

The 15th century House, located in Lussac-les-Châteaux in the department of Vienna (New Aquitaine), is a historical monument built in the 15th century. This building is distinguished by its interior murals, covering the eastern and northern walls, which led to its inscription as a Historical Monument by order of 7 June 1993. These decorative elements, protected by law, bear witness to art and techniques of the late medieval era in this region.

The location of this house, at 12 Rue Saint-Michel, is documented in the Mérimée base, with geographical precision deemed "a priori satisfactory". Owned by the commune, it is associated with the code Insee 86140, attached to the former region Poitou-Charentes. Although the practical information on its visit or current use (rental, guest rooms) is not specified, its status as a Historic Monument makes it a protected local heritage, reflecting the architectural and artistic history of Lussac-les-Châteaux.

Available data from sources such as Monumentum highlight the importance of interior paintings as a key element of its heritage value. These decorations, typical of bourgeois or notable houses of the 15th century, could evoke religious, secular or decorative scenes, although their exact theme is not detailed in the archives consulted. Their preservation illustrates efforts to preserve the medieval heritage in New Aquitaine.
