Origin and history

The half-timbered house at 6 Rue Notre-Dame in Autun is an example of medieval civil architecture dating from the 4th quarter of the 15th century. This building, now classified as a Historical Monument, is distinguished by its wooden panels facades and its spiral staircase, characteristic elements of the urban buildings of this period. The Protection Order of 30 May 1984 specifically concerns these parts and roofs, highlighting their heritage value.

The monument is located in the historical centre of Autun, in Saône-et-Loire, a city marked by a rich Roman and medieval past. The accuracy of its geographical location is assessed as fair (note 5/10), with an official address crossed by approximate GPS coordinates (1 Impasse du Jeu de Paume). Owned by the commune, this house illustrates the urbanization and constructive techniques of Burgundy at the end of the Middle Ages.
