Origin and history

Perrin House is a medieval house located in the village of Peruges, in the department of Ain. Built in the 15th century, it is a typical example of the civil architecture of this period, with a street façade and an adjacent rampart. This monument bears witness to the built heritage of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, marked by a rural and artisanal history.

Classified as historical monuments by order of 24 November 1921, Perrin House includes protected elements such as its façade and bulwark. This classification reflects its heritage importance and conservation status. Today, it is managed by an association, which suggests a cultural or tourist vocation, although the details of its access (visits, accommodation) are not specified in the available sources.

At the time of its construction in the 15th century, Peruges was a fortified village typical of French rural areas. Houses such as the Perrins served both as a dwelling and a place of work for artisans or merchants. Their integration into the village walls highlighted their role in collective defence and local social organization, where the community lived in close interdependence.
