Origin and history

The house in Peruges is a historical monument dating from the 15th century. It is distinguished by its facades and roofs, which were protected by a decree of inscription on 11 October 1929. This building, now owned by an association, illustrates medieval civil architecture typical of this region.

Peruges, medieval village of Ain, was in the 15th century a place of passage and trade. The houses of that time were often used as dwellings for local artisans, merchants or peasants. Their construction reflected the techniques and materials available, while meeting the needs of daily life in a rural and semi-urban context. These buildings contributed to the social and economic structure of the towns of the region.

The protection of this house in 1929 is part of a desire to preserve the French architectural heritage. The protected elements, such as facades and roofs, are representative of the building styles of the era. Their conservation allows us today to study and value local and regional history, while offering a material testimony of the past.
