Origin and history

The building located in Saint-Flour, in the Cantal, is a historical monument whose parts attached to the eastern foothills of Notre-Dame Church were inscribed by order of 10 July 1946. This building, located in 18 Place de la Halle, illustrates the integration of civilian habitat into the medieval or post-medieval religious fabric, typical of the cities of Auvergne. Saint-Flour, the city of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, has had an urban history marked by its role as an episcopal and commercial city.

Buildings like this, often contiguous to religious buildings, served both as dwellings, artisanal spaces or storage places. Their preservation reflects the importance attached to the heritage built in small French cities, where civil and religious architecture intertwines closely.
