Origin and history

The house at 5 Rue d'Albusse in Sarlat-la-Canéda is a historic monument built in the 16th century. It is distinguished by a facade with a corbelled gallery, supported by ground crows, and a wrought iron balcony. The narrow windows of the ground floor, combined with the general aspect of the construction, evoke a defensive function, reflecting the uncertainties and tensions of this time marked by local or regional conflicts.

The protection of this building was formalized by a decree of 13 March 1944, which specifically listed the façade and the roof on street as part of the Historical Monuments. This classification reflects the heritage value of the house, both for its characteristic architecture and for its state of conservation. The location of the house, in the historic centre of Sarlat-la-Canéda, a city known for its rich medieval and reborn heritage, reinforces its cultural and tourist interest.

The precise address, 5 rue d'Albusse, is referenced in the Mérimée database under the code Insee 24520, confirming its membership in the Dordogne department, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The accuracy of its geographic location is assessed as fair, which may indicate minor margins of error in the available GPS coordinates. The house, although protected, does not appear to be open to the public systematically, and its current use (private housing, rental, etc.) is not specified in the sources consulted.
