Origin and history

The Logis de la Croix d'Or, located in Riom in Puy-de-Dôme, is a building listed as a historic monument since 1927. Behind a classic façade, it hides an interior courtyard in Renaissance style, adorned with a spiral staircase housed in a hexagonal tower. On one side of the courtyard there are arched galleries, while on the other side there is a mulled door, topped by a coat of arms and a key to the vault decorated with a luminous monogram of Christ, which bears witness to its rich architectural past.

The house, located at 29 Hippolyte Gomot Street (formerly Mozat Street), is representative of Renaissance civil architecture in Auvergne. Its exact history remains partially documented, but its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage importance. The protected elements specifically include the courtyard facades, reflecting the interest in its interior structure.

Although the sources mention periods of construction dating back to the sixteenth century, details of its occupants or its precise historical uses in Riom are not explicitly provided in the available texts. Nor are its present state and possible contemporary functions described, apart from its protected status.
