Origin and history

The house located in Saint-Aignan, today Treasury, dates from the 17th century and illustrates the architectural style Louis XIII. Its facade is distinguished by an elevated ground floor, a floor and a mansarded attic, with openings framed by stone bosses. The door, accessible by a perron, is flanked by two pilasters, while the central lucarn is surmounted by a pediment, supplemented by two lateral egg-eyes with neat frames. The buildings of the commons, arranged on both sides of the court, complement this harmonious ensemble.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house saw its facade on a courtyard protected by a registration order on December 2, 1946. Architectural details, such as bosses, pilasters and pediments, reflect the classical influence of the period, while at the same time testifying to local craftsmanship. Its location at 53 rue Constant-Ragot, in the Loir-et-Cher, makes it an emblematic heritage of the Centre-Val de Loire region.

Originally probably a bourgeois home or a private hotel, this building embodies the social and economic prestige of its first occupants. The presence of commons suggests a structured domestic organization, typical of the wealthy residences of the seventeenth century. Today, its conversion into a public treasury highlights the adaptation of historical monuments to contemporary uses, while preserving their architectural integrity.
