Origin and history

The house at 13 rue de Bourgogne and 2 rue du Quatre-Septembre in Vienna (Isère) is a 16th-century building dating from the French Renaissance period. This monument, partially inscribed in the Historical Monuments since 1981 for its statue of the Virgin, illustrates the civil architecture of this period in the Dauphin region. Its location in the historic centre of Vienna, ancient Roman city and then medieval, highlights its integration into an urban fabric rich in heritage.

The official protection concerns specifically the statue of the Virgin (cadastral reference BC 27), inscribed by ministerial decree on 23 December 1981. This distinction highlights the religious and artistic importance of this element in the broader context of the house. Available sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) indicate an approximate location, with a map accuracy considered 'passable' (note 5/10), reflecting the documentation challenges of old buildings.

Vienna, the key city of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, experienced in the 16th century an economic boom linked to river trade (the Rhône) and its strategic position between Lyon and the Dauphiné. The houses of this period often served as houses for merchants or artisans, while sometimes incorporating religious decorative elements, as evidenced by the protected statue. The absence of details about the original owners or the precise uses of this building limits the reconstruction of its social history, but its ranking contributes to the valorisation of Viennese heritage.
