Origin and history

The Consular House is a building located in the commune of Aurillac, in the department of Cantal, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It is distinguished by its location at the intersection of Rue Marcenague and Rue Coste, in the city centre. This building, whose exact origin is not specified in the sources, has been recognized for its heritage importance since the early twentieth century.

The consular house was listed as historical monuments by an order dated 8 May 1926. This official protection underscores its architectural or historical value, although the details of its construction or initial use remain unclear. Inside, a remarkable object is listed in the Palissy base: a statuette representing a Virgin with the Child, an element that enriches its cultural interest.

Today, the consular house is a private property, which limits its accessibility to the public. Its inscription among the historic monuments of Aurillac makes it a witness to the local built heritage, alongside other protected buildings of the city. Available sources, such as the Merimée or Monumentum base, confirm its status but do not provide detailed information on its history or transformations over the centuries.
