Timeline

Origin and history

The building located at 9 rue Saint-Mayeul in Cluny, Saône-et-Loire, is a historical monument whose protection concerns specifically a carved stone motif adorning its facade. This architectural detail was inscribed by ministerial decree on 3 March 1941, highlighting its heritage interest despite the lack of information on the construction period of the building itself. The precise location, assessed as "passable" (note 5/10), places the building in the historic centre of Cluny, a city marked by its medieval abbey and its major cultural role in Burgundy.

Cluny, attached to the department of Saône-et-Loire (code Insee 7137) and to the region Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is a town whose heritage reflects a rich monastic and artisanal history. Old buildings, such as that on Rue Saint-Mayeul, often illustrate urban evolution around activities related to the abbey or local trades. Although the available sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) do not detail the original use of this building, its preservation is part of the collective memory of a city where civil architecture stands alongside religious remains.

The sculpted motifs, common in the region, could symbolize corporate brands, pious decorations or prestige elements for the owners.
