Timeline

Origin and history

The building at 10 Creuse Street in Nevers is a 14th century building, representative of the medieval civil architecture of the region. Its inscription in the inventory of Historic Monuments in 1946 specifically concerns its facades and roofs, highlighting their heritage value. The exact location, although documented in the Mérimée database under Insee code 58194 (Nièvre), remains approximate according to available sources, with an accuracy assessed as poor (note 5/10).

This type of building illustrates the medieval town planning of Nevers, a city marked by its past as a fortified city and its commercial role along the Loire. The buildings of that time were often used as houses for merchants or artisans, reflecting a social organization where housing was concentrated around the main axes. Their preservation now allows us to study construction techniques and urban lifestyles in the Middle Ages, in a Burgundy context marked by river exchanges and the influence of the Dukes of Burgundy.
