Origin and history

The house at 6 Rue des Trois-Conils in Sarlat-la-Canéda is a 15th-century building, marked by a modest architecture typical of its time. The tower and adjoining house, of very rough construction, are covered with lauze, a traditional flat stone of the area. These characteristics reflect local construction techniques and materials available at this time.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house saw its facade, tower and roof protected by a registration order on 25 February 1944. This status reflects its heritage importance, although information about its specific history or occupants remains scarce. The location, noted as "passible" (5/10) in the databases, suggests a known address but without optimal geographic accuracy.

Sarlat-la-Canéda, a medieval town in Dordogne, was in the 15th century a dynamic center linked to trade and crafts. Houses like this often served as homes for local merchants, artisans or notables. Their architecture, both functional and defensive (with towers), illustrates the needs of the era: protection, storage and social representation in an expanding urban context.
