Origin and history

The House of the Tisserand, located in Clamecy in the Nièvre department (Burgundy-Franche-Comté), is a typical example of medieval civil architecture. Built in the 15th century, it is distinguished by its wood-paned structure, characteristic of bourgeois or artisanal houses of the period. This type of building reflects the know-how of carpenters and the economic dynamism of river towns such as Clamecy, which was then marked by trade and crafts, especially weaving, an activity mentioned by its current name.

Classified as a Historical Monument by decree of 6 January 1923, this house demonstrates the desire to preserve the French vernacular heritage at the beginning of the 20th century. Its location, between rue de l'Hospice and rue du Pont-Chatelain, suggests an integration into the medieval urban fabric, close to traffic routes and community places. Although the sources do not specify its exact original use, its current name and structure evoke a link with weaver corporations, essential to the local economy.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum highlight its heritage importance, but remain limited in its detailed history. No information is provided on any owners, sponsors or milestone events held there. The approximate location (noted 5/10 in precision) and the addresses mentioned — rue de l'Hospice or 2 Rue Romain Rolland — indicate a persistence of its anchoring in the city, despite subsequent urban developments.
