Origin and history
The Maison du Baillage is a historic building located in Murat, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Built between the 15th and 16th centuries, it initially served as a dwelling for a canon of the local collegiate. Its architecture, marked by four floors and cellars, preserves a carved 16th century ceiling, vestige of the meetings of the Third Franciscan Order.
Until 1541, Murat was dependent on vicomtal justice. In that year, a royal ordinance established the lieutenant of the bailiff of the "mountains of Auvergne", marking the establishment of royal justice. The house, sold as a national property during the Revolution, was partially classified as a historical monument in 1985 for its facades, roofs and ceiling.
Today, the building embodies both a judicial and a religious heritage. Its interior decoration, including the decorated ceiling, recalls its role in medieval and reborn community life. The central location of the house, Place Gandillhon Gens d的Armes (or Place de la Boucherie), highlights its historical importance in the urban fabric of Murat.
