Origin and history

The house bordering the main street of Bazarnes is a building dating from the 12th century, located in the department of the Yonne (89), in Burgundy-Franche-Comté. This monument, although little documented in the available sources, is recognized as a Historical Monument, especially for its barn door, protected by a decree of inscription in 1927. Its exact address, 2 Rue de Vézelay, places the building in a medieval urban context, probably related to the commercial or craft activities of the period.

In the 12th century, the Burgundy region was marked by economic and religious dynamism, with active trade routes such as that leading to Vézelay, a major city for pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela. The houses of this period often served as houses, workshops or storage places for merchants and artisans. Their architecture reflected local construction techniques, with materials such as stone or wood, adapted to the resources available.

The protection of the barn door suggests a remarkable architectural element, typical of the rural or urban buildings of the period.
