Timeline

Origin and history

The house located Place du Marché in Taninges is a civil building dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. This building, typical of late medieval urban architecture, is distinguished by its facades and roofs on street, protected since 1977. Its listing as Historic Monuments highlights its heritage interest, although the available archives do not specify its original use or its potential owners.

The location of this house, in the heart of the Place du Marché de Taninges, suggests a central role in the economic and social life of the city in modern times. Market places were then strategic places for trade, public gatherings and official announcements. In Haute-Savoie, a region marked by its border history and alpine influences, the bourgeois or merchant houses of this period often reflect prosperity linked to transalpine trade or local craft activities.

The 1977 protection order specifically concerns facades and roofs overlooking the street, indicating a desire to preserve architectural elements visible from public space. The geometrical location accuracy, assessed as "passable" (note 5/10), and the associated GPS coordinates allow the building to be located in 3 bis Place du Marché. No information is available on its current accessibility or possible tourist use.
