Origin and history

Hotel Nicolai, located in Bourg-Saint-Andéol in the department of Ardèche, is a monument dated the 4th quarter of the 15th century. This civilian building illustrates the urban architecture of the late Middle Ages, a period marked by relative economic prosperity and the development of stone construction in the cities of the region. Its inscription as a Historic Monument by decree of 9 July 1926 bears witness to its heritage importance and preservation as a national heritage.

The location of the Hotel Nicolai, at 2 Place Louis Piza or rue du Collège, reflects its integration into the historical urban fabric of Bourg-Saint-Andéol. This town, located in Ardèche, was part of the Rhône-Alpes region (now Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), an area where trade and cultural exchanges were dynamic at the end of the 15th century. Private hotels of that time often served as residences for wealthy families or local notables, playing a role in the social and economic life of the city.

Available sources, including Monumentum, indicate that Hotel Nicolai is protected for its architectural and historical qualities. Although details of its occupants or its precise use are not mentioned in the data, its status as Historic Monument suggests that it represents a significant example of the built heritage of the late medieval period in Ardèche. The accuracy of its location is assessed as "a priori satisfactory", which facilitates its identification in the current urban landscape.
