Origin and history

The house at 14 rue Sainte-Catherine in Orléans is a 17th-century building. This monument, listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments since 1925, is distinguished by its facade on street and roof, protected by ministerial decree. Its architecture reflects the typical characteristics of the bourgeois dwellings of this period in the region.

Orléans, a strategic city in the 17th century, was marked by dynamic economic activity, notably thanks to river trade on the Loire. The houses of that time, like this one, often served as residences for local merchants or notables. Their preservation now allows us to witness the architectural and urban heritage of the city at this pivotal time.

The location of this house, in the historic centre of Orleans, is indicated with an accuracy deemed "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10). Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum database, confirm its exact address and protected status. No additional information on its current use (visit, rental, etc.) is mentioned in the data consulted.
