Origin and history

The house located in Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is a civil building dating from the 13th and 14th centuries. This building illustrates the medieval domestic architecture of the region, marked by construction techniques adapted to the local resources and needs of the inhabitants of the period. Its registration as a Historic Monument in 1926 bears witness to its heritage value, although the precise details of its occupants or its original use are not explicitly documented in the available sources.

In Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, as in many Burgundy localities in the Middle Ages, stone houses often reflected the relative prosperity of their owners, linked to agricultural, artisanal or commercial activities. These houses also served as places of collective life, sometimes incorporating economic functions (workshops, warehouses). The preservation of this type of building makes it possible today to study the lifestyles and social organization of medieval rural communities, in a context where local written sources are often rare.
