Origin and history
The house Roch is a civilian building located in the village of Vauconcourt-Nervezain, in Haute-Saône (region Burgundy-Franche-Comté). Mainly dating from the late 15th or early 16th century, it preserves architectural elements characteristic of this period, such as a niche, a chimney and a shorts. These details suggest an important construction for the time, probably related to an affluent family or a notable function in the local community.
The building underwent major transformations in the 19th century, partially altering its original appearance. Despite these changes, certain medieval elements have been preserved, allowing it to be included in the inventory of historical monuments by order of 6 November 1997. This protection recognizes its heritage value, both for its architecture and for its testimony on Burgundy rural habitat between the Middle Ages and modern times.
Roch House is part of a historical context where Vauconcourt-Nervezain, like many villages in Franche-Comté, was marked by a rural and artisanal economy. The houses of that time often served as a place of life, a place of work (agricultural or artisanal), and sometimes a symbol of social status. Their preservation makes it possible today to study the lifestyles and construction techniques of the 15th to 16th centuries in this border region, influenced by the exchanges between the kingdoms of France and the Holy Empire.
