Origin and history

The Maison des Pourcelot, located in Vauclusotte in the Doubs department, is a civil building built during the second half of the 18th century. This monument illustrates the bourgeois domestic architecture of this period, marked by refined decorative elements such as panelling and carved chimneys. Its listing in the Historical Monuments Inventory in 1986 highlights its heritage value, particularly for its facades, roof, and preserved interiors, including a living and dining room with remarkable woodwork.

The house bears the traces of its time through vintage plates, dating from 1756 and 1791, integrated into the chimneys. These details attest to his evolution and continued occupation during a pivotal period between the Ancien Régime and the French Revolution. Although the sources do not specify the identity of the Pourcelot, the name associated with the house evokes a probably affluent family, typical of the local landowners or notables of Burgundy-Franche-Comté at that time.

Today, the Maison des Pourcelot remains an architectural and historical testimony, although practical information about its visit or current use is lacking from available sources. Its location in Vauclusotte, a village in the Doubs, reflects the preserved rural heritage of this region, where bourgeois houses are surrounded by an environment still marked by 18th century agricultural and craft activities.
