Origin and history

The 15th century House, located in Clamecy in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region, is an emblematic monument of late medieval civil architecture. This building, whose facades and roofs have been listed as Historic Monuments since February 11, 1929, bears witness to the city's urban heritage. Its exact address, 26 rue du Grand-Marché, places the building in the heart of the historic centre of Clamey, a place marked by trade and commerce since the Middle Ages.

In the 15th century, Clamecy was a dynamic city, integrated into the Duchy of Burgundy, where bourgeois houses and public buildings reflected the prosperity linked to river and craft activities. This type of house, often built of stone or wood, served as both a dwelling, a place of commerce and a symbol of social status for wealthy families. The protection of its architectural elements in 1929 underscores its heritage importance, although the available sources do not specify its original use or its potential owners.

The location of the house, indicated with an accuracy deemed "fair" (note 5/10), suggests that its exact location could be refined. The current data come mainly from the Merimée database and the Monumentum platform, without any records detailing its construction or subsequent transformations. The lack of complementary sources limits the knowledge of its specific history, but its inscription in the title of Historical Monuments makes it a protected witness to the urban history of Clamey.
