Timeline

Origin and history

The house located Place de la Bascule in La Pacaudière is a building dating from the 1st quarter of the 15th century. It is distinguished by its typical architecture of this period, with a remarkable facade and roof, protected by a decree of inscription under the title of Historical Monuments since 5 April 1930. This classification specifically concerns elements visible from the national road, highlighting their heritage value and their representativeness of late medieval habitat in the Lyon region.

The building is part of the urban landscape of La Pacaudière, a commune of the Loire (Department 42) in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Its location on the Place de la Bascule, close to a historic road (the Paris road), suggests a potential role in local trade or trade in medieval times. The houses of that time often served as places of life, handicrafts or storage, reflecting the social and economic organization of rural towns.

Today, the house is listed in the Merimée database under Insee 42163, with a location deemed "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10). Although available sources (Monumentum, internal data) do not specify its current use, its status as a Historic Monument makes it a protected witness to the built heritage of the Loire, visually accessible from public space.
