Origin and history

The manor house, located at 14 Place Jean-Moulin in Beaumont-du-Périgord, is a monument whose architectural characteristics are significant in the urban landscape of this town. Although its name evokes a structure with a corbellation or a prominent angle, typical of some medieval or renaissant buildings, there is no precise information to date its construction or to trace its detailed history. In the Périgord, wood-paned or cornered houses were often linked to handicrafts or local commerce, serving as a home and workshop for the inhabitants.

These buildings, integrated into the urban fabric, bear witness to the social and economic organization of the small towns of the region, where the central place played a key role in exchanges and community life. The absence of specific historical data for this monument makes it impossible to specify its original use or possible transformations.
