Origin and history

The building located at 10-12 rue Fénelon in Sarlat-la-Canéda is a 15th-century building, typical of the medieval civil architecture of this town of the Périgord. Its inscription as Monument Historique in 1944 specifically concerns its gable-on-street facade and roof, emblematic elements of its era style. These protections reflect the heritage importance of this building in the historic urban fabric of Sarlat, a city renowned for its preserved medieval centre.

The location of the building, attested by the Merimée and Monumentum bases, places it in the heart of a characteristic Sarlat-la-Canéda district, in the Dordogne department (New Aquitaine region). Although the sources do not specify its original use, this type of construction in the 15th century was often linked to residential, commercial or artisanal functions, reflecting the economic vitality of the city in the late Middle Ages. The GPS coordinates and exact address confirm its anchoring in an area today frequented for its heritage.

The 1944 protection order emphasizes the architectural value of the building, but does not provide details of any historic owners or sponsors. The photographs available under the Creative Commons license (MOSSOT credit) document its current state, while the lack of information on its accessibility (visit, rental) suggests a mainly residential or private vocation. Internal data and Monumentum remain the only sources cited for this building, limiting knowledge of its specific history.
