Origin and history

The building at 13 rue de la Celle in Poitiers is a historical monument dating back to the 3rd quarter of the 16th century. It is distinguished by a carved stone dated 1563, integrated into its façade. This architectural element, the only explicitly protected vestige, was inscribed in the Historical Monuments by decree of 21 October 1944, highlighting its heritage interest despite the lack of details about its sponsor or its original use.

The location of the building, in the centre of Poitiers (Department of Vienna, New Aquitaine region), reflects the urbanisation of the Renaissance in Poitou. At that time, the city, then prosperous thanks to its administrative and judicial role, saw the development of bourgeois or artisanal dwellings. The adorned facades, such as that of this building, often reflected the social status of their owners, although the available archives do not specify their identity or profession here.

No information is provided on the current use of the building (visit, rental, etc.) or on any subsequent changes. Sources are limited to data from the Merimée database and the Monumentum platform, without reference to recent archaeological studies or restorations. The accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), suggesting uncertainties about its exact location or its boundaries.
