Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 4 rue Guigné in Beaulieu-lès-Loches is a 15th-century civil building typical of medieval urban architecture. Its ground floor, transformed for modern boutiques, contrasts with the wooden floor and a corbelled hurdles, characteristic of the buildings of this period. The attic, illuminated by a frame skylight, bears witness to traditional construction techniques.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house saw its southern facade and roof protected by a registration order on 14 September 1949. This type of building illustrates the adaptation of medieval structures to subsequent commercial needs, while retaining original architectural elements. The location in Beaulieu-lès-Loches, in Indre-et-Loire, is part of a regional context marked by a rich heritage of wooden houses.

The accuracy of its geographical location is estimated as fair (note 5/10), and its official address, recorded in the Merimée base, confirms its anchoring in the centre of the city. No information is available about its current accessibility (visits, services) or its contemporary use, apart from its protected status.
