Origin and history
The 15th century House, located in Mirebeau in the department of Vienna (New Aquitaine), is an example of medieval civil architecture. Although its name evokes the 15th century, its period of main construction is confirmed at that time, while its mention in the sources also associates the 17th century, probably for modifications or subsequent reuse. This monument is classified as a Historical Monument, with a specific protection for its corner turret, inscribed by ministerial decree on February 18, 1927.
The location of this house at 14 Carnot Street in Mirebeau is documented in the Mérimée base, although geographical accuracy is considered poor (note of 5/10). This type of turret house was typical of the prosperous villages of the Middle Ages, often serving as a residence for local merchants or notables. Mirebeau, located in the former Poitou-Charentes region, was then a commercial and artisanal crossroads, where these buildings played a central role in economic and social life.
No information is available about historical owners, precise uses over the centuries, or the significant events related to this monument. The sources are limited to its heritage protection and location, without details of its social history or architectural transformations after the 15th century.
