Origin and history

The building at 17 Pelvoysin Street in Bourges is a civil building dating from the 4th quarter of the 15th and 16th centuries. It reflects the urban architecture of this period, marked by the transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Its façade, classified as Monument Historique by decree of 28 January 1932, constitutes the protected element of this building, now owned by a private company.

The location of the building, in the city centre of Bourges, reflects the historic importance of this city, formerly the capital of the Duchy of Berry. At that time Bourges was an economic and cultural crossroads, where bourgeois houses and private hotels multiplied. This type of building, often intended for merchants or notables, illustrates the urban dynamism and architectural evolutions of the late Middle Ages and early modern times.

Available data indicate that the exact address is confirmed by the Merimée database, although GPS coordinates suggest an approximation in the vicinity (1 Place de la Barre). The accuracy of the location is considered fair (note of 5/10), and no information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, rentals, etc.).
