Facades and roofs (Case A 394): inscription by order of 20 August 1974
Origin and history
Le logis Sainte-Barbe is a house in the commune of Champteussé-sur-Baconne, Maine-et-Loire, in the Pays de la Loire region. This monument, whose origins date back to the 15th and 17th centuries, illustrates the civil architecture of these periods in this rural area of Anjou. Its designation as historic monuments in 1974 reflects its heritage interest, particularly in its preserved facades and roofs.
The house is located precisely in the department of Maine-et-Loire, under the code Insee 49067, and is located at the approximate address of 17 Rue du Pilori, in the merged commune of Chenillé-Champteussé. Although the sources do not specify its original use, this type of dwelling was often related to the habitat of local notables or to agricultural and residential functions in the Angelian countryside. Its classification specifically concerns facades and roofs, protected by ministerial decree.
In the historical context of the Pays de la Loire, the 15th and 17th centuries correspond to periods marked by social and economic transformation. The 15th and 16th centuries saw the rise of the seigneurial and bourgeois houses, while the 17th century consolidated these buildings with classical architectural influences. Monuments such as the logis Sainte-Barbe reflect this evolution, although the available archives do not detail its specific history or its occupants.
