Origin and history

The house located in Saint-Savin, in the hamlet of Damptezieu, is a 16th-century civil building. It is distinguished by a stone Renaissance bas-relief, embedded in its facade, which was officially protected by order of 23 June 1933. This monument, classified as a Historical Monument, now belongs to the municipality of Saint-Savin, in the department of Isère.

The precise address of this house, according to the Merimée base, is the Hameau de Damptezieu, 38300 Saint-Savin, with an approximate location at 145 Rue Hugues de Demptezieu. Although its GPS location is considered to be "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), no information is provided on its current accessibility, whether it be visits, room rental or accommodation. The available sources, such as Monumentum, also do not specify its original use or detailed history.

The Renaissance bas-relief, a protected element of the monument, illustrates the artistic influence of the period in the civil architecture of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This type of decoration, typical of the sixteenth century, often reflects the cultural and social aspirations of the owners or sponsors of the period, although these are not mentioned in the sources consulted. The house is thus part of the local heritage, marked by a transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
