Sambet-Bailly House is a medieval house located in the village of Peruges, in the department of Ain. Built in the 15th century, it is a typical example of the civil architecture of this period, marked by stone construction techniques and structures adapted to the domestic and artisanal needs of the time. Its classification as historic monuments in 1941 reflects its heritage importance and the desire to preserve this architectural heritage.

Peruges, a preserved medieval village, was at the time a place of life animated by commercial and craft activities. Houses such as Sambet-Bailly served both as housing and as a workshop for residents, reflecting a social organization where private and professional spaces were often confused. This type of building illustrates the daily lives of local people, marked by a rural economy and limited exchanges in the immediate vicinity.

The house is now protected and belongs to an association, allowing its conservation and its potential openness to the public. Its exact address, rue du Tambour or rue des Rondes, confirms its integration into the historical urban fabric of Peruges, a village known for its exceptional architectural heritage and its preserved medieval atmosphere.
