Origin and history

The house at 19 rue Royale in Orléans is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Although its construction period is not specified in the available sources, its architecture and location make it a representative part of the Orléan urban heritage. The official protection of its facade and roof, effective since 12 July 1928, underscores its historical and aesthetic interest.

Such houses, often built between the Middle Ages and the 19th century in French city centres, generally served as bourgeois residences or dwellings for artisans and traders. In Orléans, a city marked by its strategic role on the Loire and its medieval history, these buildings reflect the evolution of lifestyles and construction techniques. Their preservation preserves the memory of the economic and social activities that led these neighbourhoods, while offering a tangible testimony to the urban planning of the past.
