Origin and history
The house of La Pinsonnière is a bourgeois house built in the 18th century in Beaulieu-sur-Layon, in the department of Maine-et-Loire. This monument reflects the civil architecture of Anjou at this time, marked by the emergence of residences for local notables.
In 1780 Jean-Charles Pinson, captain of the Angers bourgeois militia, borrowed 1,700 pounds to build this house on land inherited from his father-in-law. The alleged architect, Jacques Jary, reportedly carried out the works between 1780 and 1788, when he also built the Hotel Desmazières in the same commune.
During the Revolution in 1798 Pinson sold the property to Pierre-Charles Joubert, mayor of Beaulieu-sur-Layon, for 12,300 pounds. The house, partially burned down, changed ownership in a troubled political context.
The house was listed as a historical monument in 1984 for its facades, roofs, and its paneled living room. Today, it bears witness to the architectural heritage of the region and to the social history of the region.
