Origin and history

The house at 26 Rue Royale in Orléans is a historic monument whose heritage value rests mainly on its architectural elements. Its façade and roof were included in the inventory of Historic Monuments by decree of 12 July 1928, showing their aesthetic or historical interest in the city. No additional information on its history, occupants or original function is available from the sources consulted.

Orléans, a city marked by a rich medieval and reborn history, experienced at the beginning of the twentieth century a period of valuing its built heritage. Bourgeois or notable houses, like this one, often reflect the architectural and social evolutions of their times. Their preservation makes it possible to understand the lifestyles, construction techniques and artistic tastes of local people throughout the centuries.

This type of monument contributes to the collective memory and urban identity of Orleans, in a region, the Centre-Val de Loire, known for its dense historical heritage.
