Origin and history

The house located in Saint-Vinnemer, located in Tanlay in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, dates from the boundary between the 15th and 16th centuries. It was a dependency of Tanlay Castle, prior to its reconstruction in the 15th century. This building has retained prominent Gothic structures, such as sill windows and two monumental chimneys on the ground floor. Its architecture is distinguished by a spiral staircase housed in a polygonal tower, giving access to the floor. Unlike adjacent agricultural buildings, built of dry stone, the house itself is built of cut stone, highlighting its special status.

The whole, including the house, the outbuilding facades and the fence walls, was inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 14 April 2006. The house thus illustrates the architectural evolution of the region, combining residential and agricultural functions. Its link with Tanlay Castle, although it was later rebuilt, bears witness to its local historical importance. The protected elements reflect both its past use and heritage value, including the preservation of rare Gothic details during this pivotal period.

The location of the house, at 8 rue de la Poterne in Tanlay, is documented in the Merimée base, with geographical accuracy considered "passable" (note 5/10). This monument offers a representative example of seigneurial habitat or associated with the end of the Middle Ages in Burgundy, where stone-cut constructions were associated with more rustic techniques such as dry stone. Its recent registration (2006) highlights the late but significant recognition of its heritage interest.
