Origin and history

The house in Peruges, in the department of Ain, is a 15th century monument. It has been listed as a Historic Monument since 24 November 1921, with a specific protection for its façade. This building illustrates the medieval civil architecture of the region, marked by stone constructions and narrow facades typical of fortified villages.

Peruges, a medieval village emblematic of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, was at that time a place of passage and commerce. Houses such as this were used as both housing and workspace for local artisans or merchants. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the urban and social organization of medieval villages.

The house is now owned by an association, suggesting a heritage or cultural vocation. Although its current use (visit, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the sources, its classification and location in a tourist village indicate a recognized historical and architectural value.
