Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 30 rue de la Scelerie in Tours is a historical monument built in the 17th century. It is distinguished by an entrance door in basket handle, framed with pilasters and surmounted by a curved pediment decorated with a medallion and decorative motifs. This architectural element, typical of the time, was classified by decree of 18 June 1962, emphasizing its heritage importance.

The building is structured around three houses dating from the 17th century, organized around a courtyard closed by a fence wall. This wall, pierced by a niche on the ground that could have sheltered a fountain, connects to the lateral wings by separated tubes, creating passages towards the wings in return for square. The main house body was enhanced and thickened in the 19th century, while the stairs were redesigned at an indefinite time, reflecting subsequent adaptations to its use.

The accuracy of the location of this monument is considered fair (note of 5/10), and its official address, recorded in the Mérimée base, corresponds to 30 rue de la Scelerie in the department of Indre-et-Loire. Although information on its accessibility (visits, rental, accommodation) is not available, its main interest lies in its protected architectural elements, which are a witness to the urban evolution of Tours.
