Origin and history

The house located at 5 rue Marthuret in Riom, classified as Historic Monument, is distinguished by its inner courtyard housing a 15th century door. This access is marked by an ogival arch with double prismatic moulding, framing an opening whose eardrum has a unique pattern: a hand surrounded by banners supporting a shield. These decorative elements, typical of late Gothic civil architecture, highlight the prestige of the building.

The official protection of this monument concerns specifically the 15th century gate, inscribed by ministerial decree on February 9, 1927. The construction periods chosen are limited to this façade and, where appropriate, to the adjacent stairway. Although the exact address is confirmed (63200 Riom, Puy-de-Dôme), the accuracy of its geographical location is considered poor (note of 5/10), according to the available data.

No information is provided on the contemporary use of the building (visits, rentals, etc.), or on any historic owners or sponsors. The sources focus on the architectural and legal aspects, without mentioning the social or economic context of its construction. The Creative Commons license associated with the photo of the monument (credit: Batman63) indicates a recent documentation, but without further details on its history.
