Origin and history

The House of Birds of the Haut-Allier is a monument located in the municipality of Lavoûte-Chilhac. This site, whose exact period of construction or historic significance is not specified in the available sources, bears an evocative name related to local biodiversity, typical of preserved areas such as the Upper Allier. In the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, traditional constructions such as this often reflect the adaptation of communities to the surrounding natural resources.

Local houses were generally used for housing, storage or craft activities, while playing a role in the social and economic life of villages. Their preservation today bears witness to the architectural and cultural heritage of these territories.
