Origin and history
The house Peytavin is a house of notable located in the Bleymard, in the department of Lozère, in the Occitanie region. Built in the 17th century, it is distinguished by its square architecture, composed of two wings: a housing body with a square stair tower going beyond the roof, and a wing serving as a stable with a barn above, probably resumed in the 18th century on older bases. The stairway tower features harpsichords forming a corner tube called under the corner, while the housing wing includes a Pigeon Tower on the south side. Inside, chimneys and a door, which may have been from the late 15th or early 16th century, have been preserved.
The Peytavin House is a rare example of a house of notable having preserved its initial height and its careful architectural treatment, especially for the door and the cross window of the square tower. It has been partially classified as historical monuments since 1997 (facades and roofs), after being listed as a site in 1943. Its design and decorative elements reflect the social status of its owners, while integrating further redevelopments, such as the 18th century barn-range.
Located at 5 B Route du Mont Lozère (Mont Lozère and Goulet), this house illustrates the civil architecture of Lozérian 17th and 18th centuries. Its inclusion in the inventory of historical monuments underlines its heritage importance, both for its state of conservation and for its constructive peculiarities, such as the hors-œuvre stair tower and ancient interior decorations.
