Origin and history

The Hotel de Vacquier de Lamotte is a civil building located in Sarlat-la-Canéda, Dordogne, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Built in the 17th century, it is distinguished by its door frame adorned with a decorative frieze forming bandeau and columns in semi-relief fluted. These architectural elements reflect the classical style of the era, marked by a search for elegance and symmetry.

Ranked a Historic Monument, the hotel owes its protection to its 17th century door, including the vantals, which was registered by order of 23 August 1946. This official recognition underscores the heritage value of this element, a witness to the craftsmanship and aesthetic codes of the period. The exact address, 5 rue de la Liberté, allows to locate the monument in the historical center of Sarlat, a city known for its rich medieval and Renaissance heritage.

Although available sources do not specify the original use of the hotel or its sponsor, its architecture suggests that it belonged to a local elite, probably bourgeois or noble. Private hotels of that time often served as urban residences for wealthy families, reflecting their social status through careful decors. Today, the state of the place and its accessibility (visit, rental, guest rooms) are not detailed in the data consulted.
