Origin and history

The Maison de la Prévoté in Orléans is a historical monument built in the 15th century. Located at 261 rue de Bourgogne, it illustrates the civil architecture of this period in a then dynamic city, marked by its political and commercial role in the heart of the Loire Valley. His classification under the title of Historical Monuments by decree of 10 August 1912 specifically concerns his facade, a witness of the techniques and style of the late medieval era.

Orléans, in the 15th century, was a prosperous city, a crossroads between northern and southern France. Houses such as the Provost Marshal often reflected local power, sheltering administrative institutions or residences of notables. Their preservation today offers an overview of urban life in the late Middle Ages, between crafts, commerce and municipal management. The protection of the façade in 1912 underscores the heritage importance of these remains as the city modernized.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, indicate that the location of the Provost House is considered "a priori satisfactory" (note 7/10). No information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), but its exact address and Insee code (45234) clearly links it to the Loiret department in the Centre-Val de Loire region.
