Timeline

Origin and history

The house on Rue Saint-Lubin in Châteaudun is a remarkable example of civil architecture from the 2nd quarter of the 16th century. It stands out for its stone ground floor and wood-paned floor, decorated with sculptures that bear witness to the artisanal know-how of the time. Subsequent modifications of the openings, both on the ground floor and on the floor, reflect the functional adaptations suffered by the building over the centuries, without fundamentally altering its original structure.

Classified as a Historic Monument by decree of 3 July 1922, this house illustrates the built heritage of Châteaudun, a city marked by its medieval and reborn history. The protection specifically concerns its facades, highlighting their aesthetic and historical value. Although the sources do not specify its initial use, this type of construction was often associated with bourgeois or artisanal dwellings, playing a central role in the urban life of the time.

The location of the house, in the center of Châteaudun (department of Eure-et-Loir, region Centre-Val de Loire), is part of an urban fabric rich in comparable monuments. The cartographic accuracy, assessed as "a priori satisfactory", clearly identifies its current location at 2 rue Saint-Lubin. No information is available about its accessibility to the public or its contemporary uses, such as visiting, renting, or accommodation.
