Origin and history

The Maison des Dimes de Voulx, located in the commune of Voulx in Île-de-France, is a 17th-century building. This monument, also called Maison des Dimes, is accompanied by its outbuildings, namely a barn and a pigeon house. These architectural elements illustrate the economic and agricultural role of this type of building in modern times, often linked to the collection of tithes, taxes in kind collected for the Church or local lords.

The House of tithes was included in the inventory of Historical Monuments by order of 16 February 1987. This protection concerns the entire main building and its outbuildings, identified under the cadastral reference AH 125. The exact location of this monument is the 82 Grande Rue in Voulx, in the Seine-et-Marne department (77), in the Île-de-France region. The accuracy of this location is estimated as fair according to the criteria of the Merimée base.

The historical context of the 17th century in Île-de-France is marked by a rural society where houses like this often served as a place of storage and redistribution of agricultural resources. These buildings reflect the social and economic organization of the time, where tithes played a central role in relations between peasants, lords and clergy. The conservation of this monument allows us to study these local dynamics.

The information available on this monument comes mainly from the Monumentum database and from the internal data of the Merimée database. No source explicitly mentions the opening of the site to the public, its transformation into a guest room or a rental room. However, GPS coordinates and postal address allow the building to be located with relative accuracy, although adjustments may be necessary for an on-site visit.
