Origin and history

The log house at 12 rue du Pont in Romorantin-Lanthenay is an architectural example of the 15th and 16th centuries. It is distinguished by its wooden structure forming crosses of Saint-André, supplemented by a brick filling. This type of construction, common in the region Centre-Val de Loire, reflects the techniques of the medieval and reborn era, adapted to the local resources and needs of the inhabitants.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 25 February 1948, this house illustrates the preserved civil heritage of Romorantin-Lanthenay. The protected facades and roofs bear witness to the importance attached to the conservation of the emblematic buildings of this period. The location, although specified as 'a priori satisfactory', remains a point of interest for those passionate about history and traditional architecture.

The house is located in the department of Loir-et-Cher (41), in the region Centre-Val de Loire, an area marked by a rich built heritage. Wood-paned houses, like this one, often served as housing for artisans or merchants, playing a central role in the economic and social life of medieval cities. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the urban organization and lifestyles of the era.
