Origin and history

The house in Crémieu, in the department of Isère (region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), is a 15th century civil building. This monument illustrates late medieval domestic architecture, characteristic of the towns of the region. Although little documented in available sources, its protection under the Historic Monuments in 1980 underscores its heritage interest, particularly in its preserved facades and roofs.

The building is located at 1 rue Faulchet and rue du Four-Banal, in the historic centre of Crémieu, a town marked by a medieval past. Its listing in the inventory of Historic Monuments, by decree of 31 December 1980, specifically concerns external elements (facades and roofs), indicating a desire to preserve its original appearance. The house now belongs to the municipality, but its current use (visit, rental, etc.) is not specified in the available data.

Cremieu, like many localities in the region, was in the 15th century a dynamic village, marked by artisanal and commercial activities. The houses of this period often served as a place of life, work (workshops, shops) and sometimes storage for merchants. Their architecture reflected both practical needs (solidity, space) and a certain social status of their owners, often linked to corporations or local government. This type of building thus contributed to the economic and social structure of the cities of the time.
