Heritage classified

Origin and history

The house located at 23 rue Fécauderie in Auxerre is a historic monument whose most notable architectural elements, namely the cornel post and the sandstones with their consoles supporting the floor in corbellation, were classified by order of 10 February 1925. These details reflect artisanal know-how typical of medieval or Renaissance constructions, although the exact period of construction is not specified in the available sources.

The facades and roofs of this house, with the exception of those already classified, were included in the inventory of historical monuments by a decree of 12 February 1925. This double level of protection (classification and registration) underlines the heritage importance of this building, both for its architecture and for its integration into the urban fabric of Auxerre. The house is now owned by the municipality.

The location of this monument, in the city centre of Auxerre, makes it a witness to the urban history of this Burgundy city. Fécauderie Street, although little documented in the sources, is part of a neighbourhood where medieval and Renaissance civil architecture is still visible. The state of conservation and the accuracy of its location are estimated to be fair, according to available estimates.

No information is provided on the current use of this building, whether it is a public opening, a room rental or a residential vocation such as a guest house. Sources are limited to architectural and administrative data, without details of its social history or past occupants.

The Creative Commons license associated with Benjamin Smith's photo indicates that visual representations of this monument are accessible, contributing to its documentation and heritage value. However, the archives do not mention artisans who worked on the sandstones, historic owners, or the significant events related to this site.

Auxerre, the prefecture of Yonne, is known for its rich architectural heritage, including religious and civil buildings dating from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. This house fits into this context, although its specific history remains partially unknown in the absence of detailed sources.
