Origin and history

The building in Niort, dating from the 16th century, illustrates the transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This civilian building retains significant architectural elements, such as 16th, 17th and 18th century chimneys, as well as dusty bays, characteristic of the urban homes of the period. These details reflect the evolution of styles and construction techniques between two pivotal periods in French history.

Ranked as a Historical Monument, the building was partially protected by order of 24 October 1997. This decree specifically concerns the facades and roofs of the old parts, including a house and a stair tower located at 27 rue de la Juiverie and 44 rue Basse. The precise location, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10), places the monument in the historic heart of Niort, in New Aquitaine.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum Base, highlight the heritage interest of this building. Its exact address, 27 rue de la Juiverie and 44 rue Basse, as well as its Insee code (79191) attach the monument to the Deux-Sèvres department in the former Poitou-Charentes region. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, rental) or contemporary use.
