The façade and roof (Box D2 621): inscription by decree of 5 April 1930
Origin and history
Bourdigal Manor House is a civil building located in Monnaie, in the Indre-et-Loire department, in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Built in the 16th century, it depicts Renaissance residential architecture, with characteristic elements such as a brick staircase turret and visible wooden panels. This type of construction reflects the rise of seigneurial or bourgeois houses in the peatlands at that time, often linked to farming or local trade.
The mansion was listed as a historic monument on April 5, 1930, a recognition that specifically protected its façade and roof. This protection enhances preserved architectural details, such as the old hinges of the ground floor windows and the wooden panels structure of the floors. The building, located avenue de Flavigny, bears witness to the built heritage of the Touraine, an area marked by a rich medieval and reborn heritage.
Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum bases, highlight its heritage interest without mentioning historical events or specific characters related to its history. The lack of data on its original use or owners limits the understanding of its precise role in 16th-century local society. Today, its state of conservation and accessibility (visit, rental) are not documented in the sources consulted.
