Origin and history

The building at 2 Rue Lakanal in Sarlat-la-Canéda is a building built between the late 17th and early 18th centuries. It is distinguished by its stone machine in working covering the entire height of the facade, an architectural process common in the region for prestigious buildings. The entrance door, framed with pilasters and surmounted by a cornice, as well as the sculpted dormitories adorning the roof, testify to a careful aesthetic research, characteristic of the bourgeois houses of this period.

The building was registered as Historic Monuments by order of November 29, 1948, thereby recognizing its heritage value. This protection concerns the entire building, identified under the cadastral reference H 640p. Although the sources do not specify its original use, its architecture suggests a residential function or related to significant social or economic activity in the then booming city of Sarlat-la-Canéda.

The location of the building, in the heart of a city known for its medieval and reborn heritage, highlights its integration into a rich urban fabric. Lakanal Street, although less famous than other Sarlat arteries, contributes to the architectural diversity of the city. The available data indicate a "passable" location accuracy (note 5/10), without further details of its accessibility or current condition.

No information is provided on any owners, architects or craftsmen who contributed to its construction. Similarly, the sources do not mention any specific historical events associated with this building, apart from its listing as Historic Monuments.
