Origin and history

Delichères House, nicknamed "house with gargoyles", is a remarkable example of 16th century Gothic civil architecture in Aubenas, Ardèche. The building is singularized by its octagonal turret adorned with gargoyles carved in the sandstone, as well as its sill windows. Originally, in the 15th century, it was one of the richest houses in the city, reflecting the prestige of its owners in the Albenasian urban landscape.

The house occupies a central position on the Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, facing the Château des Montlaur (XIIth-17th centuries), highlighting its importance in the historical fabric of the city. Its building body, developed on four levels, illustrates the constructive techniques and artistic taste of the Renaissance, while maintaining significant Gothic elements. The building was officially recognized for its heritage value by an inscription to historic monuments in 1927.

The available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its status as a protected monument and specify its exact address: Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville and rue de la Prévoté. Although its current use (visit, rental, etc.) is not detailed, its state of conservation and location make it a major point of interest for the ardèche heritage. The accuracy of its geographical location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), based on the data consulted.
