Origin and history

The House of 11 rue Teynière is an emblematic civil building of the first half of the 16th century, located in the historic centre of Bourg-en-Bresse, in the department of Ain. This building illustrates the Renaissance home architecture in Bresse, a region marked by economic prosperity linked to agriculture and commerce. Its inscription in the title of the Historical Monuments, which took place on 28 July 1947, specifically concerns facades and roofs, a remarkable element of its original structure.

The heritage protection of this house is part of a broader approach to preserving the old building of Bourg-en-Bresse, a city that was an important administrative and religious centre under the Ancien Régime. Although the available sources do not specify its initial use (bourgeois housing, house of notable or business), its architectural style reflects the influence of the Renaissance artistic currents, during which the Bresse enjoyed a strategic position between Lyon and Burgundy. Today, its state of conservation and its integration into the urban fabric make it a valuable testimony to local history.

The current data do not mention any historical owners or major changes to the building after the 16th century. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, places this monument in an area probably frequented by modern times, close to other remarkable buildings of the city. The Creative Commons license associated with the photographs available highlights the contemporary documentary interest in this heritage.
