Timeline

Origin and history

The house located at 22 rue Porte-d'Amont in Meung-sur-Loire is a monument located in the city centre. This building, whose exact construction period is not documented in the available sources, represents an architectural heritage of the municipality. Its location in a historic street suggests an importance in the urban fabric of Meung-sur-Loire, a city marked by its medieval and Ligerian past.

Houses of this type, often built between the Middle Ages and the modern era, were generally used as dwellings for bourgeois families, artisans or merchants. In Meung-sur-Loire, as in many cities in the Centre-Val de Loire region, these buildings reflected daily life and local economic activities, particularly related to river trade through the Loire River. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the urban and social evolution of these territories.
