Origin and history

The house located 11 Place Sainte-Croix in Orléans is a monument inscribed in the Historical Monuments since 1940. It belongs to a coherent architectural ensemble, directly facing the cathedral of the city. Its interest lies in its general ordinance and its careful decor, characteristic of a marked aesthetic and urban will. The facades and roofs, protected by decree, reflect a stylistic harmony unique to the historic centre of Orleans.

The building is now owned by an association, although its current use (visits, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources. Its location, in the heart of the city and in the immediate vicinity of St. Croix Cathedral, suggests a historical role in the urban and religious landscape of Orleans. The accuracy of its geographical location is assessed as "passible" (note 5/10), indicating approximate but sufficient coordinates for identification.

The inscription for the Historic Monuments in 1940 highlights the heritage value of this house, integrated into a larger ensemble reflecting the architectural history of Orleans. The sources also mention an illustration under the Creative Commons license, produced by Peter Potrowl, but no further details are provided on the artistic specificities or transformations that the building has undergone over the centuries.
