Timeline

Origin and history

The Hotel de Rabayne is a stone house located in Cognac, built in the 16th century. Its architecture is characterized by low arched portals decorated with typical Renaissance mouldings, with a salamander in high relief accompanied by the motto Nutrisco and extingo. These decorative elements, such as the prominent supports and ground lintels, reflect the architectural style of the era.

The facade on the street, classified as a Historical Monument by order of 15 May 1925, bears a Latin inscription under the cornice: "Cito ne credas - no male dicis - inimicum enta". These details highlight the historical and artistic importance of the building, although its original use or owners are not mentioned in the available sources.

Located at 10 Magdeleine Street in Cognac (Charente, Nouvelle-Aquitaine), the Hotel de Rabayne illustrates the city's civil heritage. Its state of conservation and its approximate location (estimated at 6/10) give a notable architectural testimony, although little documented beyond its stylistic characteristics.
