Origin and history

The 17th century house in Saint-Flour, in the Cantal department, is a historic monument registered since 1946. It is distinguished by its typical architecture of the period, including a stone staircase integrated into a turret. The interior courtyard houses a 16th century window, as well as a fitted stone balcony, revealing traces of an earlier construction or material reuse.

Among the notable decorative elements, a gargoyle representing a chimera adorns the facade, adding a fantastic touch to the building. The official protection specifically concerns the facade and the balcony on courtyard, highlighting their heritage value. The precise address, 5 Place d'Armes, and its Insee code (15187) confirm its anchoring in the historic center of Saint-Flour, a city marked by its medieval and Renaissance heritage.

The location of this monument, although considered a priori satisfactory (note 6/10), remains a point of interest for visitors and researchers interested in the civil architecture of the Auvergne. No information is available about its access to the public, its current vocation (housing, museum, etc.), or possible historical characters related to its construction or past use.
