Origin and history

Hotel Coiffier is a historic monument located in Aigueperse, in the department of Puy-de-Dôme, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Built in the 17th century, it represents a typical example of the civil architecture of this period, with protected elements including the entire hotel as well as the facades and roofs of its communes. Its registration as a Historic Monument by order of 5 December 2016 bears witness to its heritage value and its local importance.

In the 17th century, the Aigueperse region, like a large part of the Auvergne, was marked by a rural and artisanal society, where private hotels like this often served as residences for bourgeois families or local notables. These buildings reflected the social status of their owners and played a role in the economic and cultural life of the city. Their preservation now makes it possible to better understand the lifestyles and urban organization of this period.

The information available about the Hotel Coiffier comes mainly from the Merimée base and Monumentum. The building is located at 121 Grande-Rue, although approximate GPS coordinates suggest an alternative address nearby.
