Origin and history

This house, dated from 1630, is located in Castelnau-de-Montmiral, in the Tarn, in the Occitanie region. Built of cut stone, it is distinguished by its ground floor opened by arch arches in broken arches, while the first floor features two ground-edged-edge sled windows, topped by triangular sprockets. These architectural elements reflect the typical techniques and construction styles of the 2nd quarter of the 17th century.

The second floor of the house was redone at a more recent time, probably during modern renovations, which contrasts with the original style. The façade of this building has been partially listed as historic monuments since 18 July 1927, highlighting its heritage importance. The house is located on the public square of Castelnau-de-Montmiral, a central location that bears witness to its role in local life.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm that this house is a representative example of the civil architecture of the time in Occitanie. Its inscription as a historical monument protects its facade, guaranteeing the preservation of its most significant architectural features. Details such as cross windows and triangular gables are stylistic markers of the period, while arcades on the ground floor evoke potential use for commercial or public purposes.
