The cellar of the former Gothic house located 14 rue Alcide Hayer, as shown on the plan annexed to the decree (cad. AB 747, 149, 750): inscription by order of 23 June 2017
Origin and history
The Gothic house of Bonneval is a civil building whose most remarkable element is its cellar, classified by order of 23 June 2017. Located at 14 rue Alcide Hayer, this cellar is the main vestige of the old construction, now disappeared on the surface. The archives mention its membership of the cadastre under references AB 747, 149 and 750, confirming its anchoring in the city's historic urban fabric.
Bonneval, located in the department of Eure-et-Loir (region Centre-Val de Loire), was in medieval and modern times a city marked by artisanal and commercial activities. Gothic houses, like this one, often served as homes for local merchants or notables. Their cellar, which was frequently used for the storage of foodstuffs or handicrafts, reflected the economic importance of these buildings in everyday life.
The protection of the cellar in 2017 underscores its heritage value, although the available sources do not specify its exact use or its original sponsor. Owned by the municipality, this vestige offers a material testimony of the construction techniques and the domestic organization of the past, in an area where Gothic civil architecture remains relatively rare.
