Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 9 rue des Cochons-de-lait in Chalon-sur-Saône is a 16th century historical monument. This building illustrates Renaissance civil architecture in this Burgundy city, a period marked by urban and economic growth. Its classification as Historic Monument underscores its heritage importance, although the available sources do not specify the exact criteria for this protection.

The location of this house, in the centre of Chalon-sur-Saône, reflects the medieval and reborn organization of the cities, where the houses concentrated around the commercial axes. At that time, Burgundy, a region then prosperous thanks to the river and wine trade, saw the development of stone or half-timbered houses, often intended for wealthy merchants or artisans. This type of construction reflects cultural exchanges and stylistic influences between the French and European regions.
