Origin and history

The house of Achilles Millien, located in Beaumont-la-Ferrière in the Nièvre department (58), is a building built during the 3rd quarter of the 19th century. This monument has been included in the inventory of Historical Monuments since 1929, with specific protection on its façade. Its location, in the heart of the village near the church, reflects its integration into the local historical fabric.

The location of the house, reported as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), is documented by sources such as Monumentum and the Merimée base. The precise address, "In the middle of the village, near the church", underlines its anchoring in the communal heritage. No additional information is available on its current use (visit, rental, accommodation) or on protected interior elements.

The historical context of Beaumont-la-Ferrière in the 19th century is marked by a rural and artisanal economy, typical of the towns of Burgundy. The bourgeois houses of this time, like this one, often bear witness to the social rise of notable locals or wealthy artisans. Their architecture, though modest, reflects the aesthetic codes of the period, mixing functionality and sober decoration.

The inscription of the facade in 1929 suggests an early recognition of its heritage value, possibly linked to its architectural style or its association with a local character. However, the available sources do not specify the exact criteria for this protection or any restoration work. The Creative Commons license for associated photos indicates a desire for cultural dissemination of the monument.
