Origin and history

The 15th century House, located in Clermont-Ferrand in the department of Puy-de-Dôme, is an emblematic monument of medieval civil architecture. Built in the 15th century, it was inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 15 January 1990. This building illustrates the built heritage of the city at a time when Clermont-Ferrand, then under bourgeois and artisanal influence, was actively developing.

The building is located at 10-10bis rue des Chaussetiers, an address that reflects its anchoring in the historic urban fabric. The accuracy of its location is considered fair (note 5/10), suggesting minor uncertainties about its exact location. Owned by the department, this house is a typical example of the dwellings of the period, although its current use (visit, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources.

In the 15th century, Clermont-Ferrand was a dynamic city, marked by artisanal and commercial activities. The houses of this period often served as places of life, work and storage for merchants or artisans. Their preservation, like that of this house, allows us to understand the social and economic organization of the city at the end of the Middle Ages.
