Origin and history

The building in Villefranche-sur-Saône, in the Rhône department, dates from the 4th quarter of the 17th century and the 1st quarter of the 18th century. This building illustrates the civil architecture of this pivotal period between classicism and first rococo influences. It is distinguished by protected elements such as its facades, its roofs on the courtyard, its stairwell with ramp, and its well, showing a preserved urban heritage.

The protection of this building was formalized in two stages: a partial registration by decree of 16 January 1990, followed by a wider classification on 2 November 1992. These measures aim to preserve significant architectural components, such as the inner courtyard and its soil, reflecting the spatial and social organization of the bourgeois dwellings of the time. The main address, 526-528 rue Nationale, places the monument in the heart of a historic district of Villefranche-sur-Saône, a city marked by its commercial and artisanal past.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, highlight the importance of this building in the local heritage landscape. Although practical information about its visit or current use is missing from the source text, its status as a Historical Monument makes it a privileged witness to the urban and architectural evolution of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region between the 17th and 18th centuries.
