Origin and history

The house in Orléans, Place Sainte-Croix, is a historic monument whose facades and roofs were inscribed by order of 19 February 1940. It is part of a coherent architectural ensemble, facing the cathedral, and is distinguished by a deliberately worked decor. Its location, in the heart of the city, makes it a key element of the Orléan urban heritage, although its precise location remains subject to approximations (level of accuracy estimated at 5/10).

This house, now owned by an association, illustrates the importance of bourgeois or notable dwellings in medieval and modern city centres. In Orléans, as in other cities in the Centre-Val de Loire region, these houses often reflected the social status of their owners and helped to embellish public squares, especially around major religious buildings. Their preservation demonstrates efforts to preserve the harmony of historic urban complexes.

The available information comes mainly from the Merimée database and sources such as Monumentum. The official address (15 Place Sainte-Croix) differs slightly from the GPS coordinates (15 Rue Parisie), highlighting the challenges of precise location for certain monuments. No indication is given of its current accessibility (visits, rental, accommodation) or its contemporary use beyond its associative property.
