Origin and history

The current house, located in Narbonne, dates from the 17th century but has been profoundly redesigned or rebuilt. It occupies a land that originally belonged to the Major's church and then ceded to the convent of the Sisters of the Cross. Although the official letters patent of this convent date only from 1673, the nuns settled there in 1649 under the authority of Archbishop Claude de Rebé, known for his generosity.

The monument preserves a 17th century shield, embedded in its façade and classified since 1946. This coat of arms, described by Sivade and Mullot, evokes the arms of the family of Rebé (gold with three merlets of sand), allied with those of La Liègue (gauge wave of Gules) and Faverges (three silver chevrons). The cardinalry hat adorning the shield, with six houpps on either side, suggests a connection with a gift from this prelate.

The exact address, 1 Auber Street, places the house in the historic centre of Narbonne, although the accuracy of its location is considered mediocre (note 5/10). There is no information on whether the building is open to the public or assigned to a particular use today. Available sources are limited to Monumentum data and internal archives.
