Origin and history

The house located in Tournus, Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is an 18th century building. It is distinguished by its typical civil architecture of this period, with remarkable facades and roofs, as well as an interior staircase between two courtyards. These elements led to its registration as a Historical Monument by decree of 27 September 1948, stressing its heritage importance.

The building is located at 15 rue de la République, in the city centre of Tournus, in Saône-et-Loire. Although details about its history and occupants remain rare, its inscription specifically protects facades and roofs on street and on the first courtyard, as well as the interior staircase. This protection reflects the desire to preserve a representative example of the bourgeois or artisanal habitat of the eighteenth century in this region.

Tournus, a city marked by its medieval and religious heritage, also preserved traces of its urban development in the following centuries. This house illustrates the architectural and social evolution of the city, where 18th century civil buildings coexist with older buildings. Its state of conservation and location make it a witness to local urban history, although available sources do not provide detailed information on its original use or owners.
