Origin and history

The building in Sarlat-la-Canéda is a 15th century monument, typical of medieval civil architecture in this area. It is distinguished by its facades and roofs, protected by a decree of inscription under the title of Historical Monuments in 1944. Its location, in the heart of the city, reflects the dense and preserved urbanisation of Sarlat, marked by its medieval and reborn built heritage.

In the 15th century, the town of Sarlat-la-Canéda, Dordogne, was a dynamic economic and administrative centre linked to agricultural production and trade. The buildings of that time often served as houses for local merchants or notables, while sometimes sheltering artisanal activities on the ground floor. Their preservation today demonstrates the importance attached to this heritage in a region rich in medieval history.
