Armoured door top dated 1586 embedded in the fence wall: inscription by order of 11 December 1944
Origin and history
The building in Poitiers, in the department of Vienna (New Aquitaine), dates from the 4th quarter of the 16th century. This building is distinguished by a protected architectural element: an arched door top, dated precisely from 1586, embedded in the fence wall. This element was registered under the Historical Monuments by order of 11 December 1944, highlighting its historical and heritage interest.
The location of the building is documented at two addresses: the first, official and from the Merimée base, is 10 rue des Balances-d'Or, while an approximation based on GPS coordinates suggests 3 rue de l'Ancienne Comédie. These differences reflect a geographical accuracy considered "fair" (note 5/10), according to the database evaluation criteria. The building is part of the urban fabric of Poitiers, a city marked by a rich Renaissance heritage.
No information is available on the current use of the building (visit, rental, accommodation) or its detailed history beyond the protected elements. Sources are limited to Monumentum data and administrative references, without reference to sponsors, architects or specific events related to its construction or occupation. The 1944 protection concerns only the front door, demonstrating a desire to preserve an emblematic detail of civil architecture of the late 16th century.
