Origin and history

The house located in Brantôme in Périgord is a 14th and 15th century civil building. This monument, inscribed in the inventory of Historical Monuments by decree of 25 June 1929, illustrates the medieval domestic architecture of the region. Its location, at 6 rue de la Miséricorde (today 8 rue Joussain), reflects the city's historic town planning, marked by narrow streets and preserved heritage.

Medieval houses such as this were generally used as housing for local artisans, merchants or notables. In Brantôme, a town known for its troglodytic abbey and its role in the medieval Périgord, these houses testify to the daily life between the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Their conservation provides an overview of the construction techniques and social organization of the time, in an area then marked by trade and architectural influences of the southwest.

The location of this house, although documented (code Insee 24064, Dordogne department), remains approximate according to the available sources, with cartographic accuracy assessed as "a priori satisfactory". No additional information on its occupants, transformations or current use (visit, accommodation) is mentioned in the data consulted.
