Origin and history

The House opposite the gate of En-Haut is an emblematic building of the medieval heritage of Peruges, located in the department of Ain, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Built in the 15th century, this house illustrates the civil architecture of the period, marked by traditional construction techniques and harmonious integration into the fortified urban fabric of the city.

Classified as historical monuments by order of 23 May 1912, this house bears witness to the importance attached to the preservation of the built heritage of Peruges, a village known for its exceptionally well preserved medieval architectural complex. Its location facing the gate of En-Haut, one of the historic entrances of the city, highlights its role in structuring the urban space and defending the city.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, mention its status as a protected monument, but do not provide details about its historical occupants or specific events that would be carried out there. The house, like other buildings in Peruges, reflects the way of life and social organization of a medieval village, where stone houses served both as housing, as a place of work and as protection against external threats.
