Origin and history
The House of the Water Temple in Cherveix-Cubas is part of the history of the Templars, linked to the Commandery of Andrivault and Condat. The site preserved a chapel of Saint-Blaise, of which a door, a bentier and an altar stone remain. The current building, built on the foundations of an old home, has been redesigned at several times. Its central house body and stone staircase, probably the oldest element, bear witness to its architectural evolution.
The dining room of the house features a decorative pebble floor, reproducing Templar symbols, and a wall inscription dating from 1601 or 1605. The structure dates back to the 18th century. The monument, partially protected since 1975 (façades, roofs, staircases and dining room), thus illustrates the persistence of a medieval heritage in a structure transformed in modern times.
Originally integrated into a Templar domain, this house embodies the material and symbolic traces of order, through liturgical elements and decorative motifs. Its history also reflects the successive reuses and adaptations of a place filled with memory, from the Middle Ages to the contemporary era.
