Origin and history

A typical example of medieval civil architecture is the wooden house at 9 rue Saint-Vincent in Chalon-sur-Saône. This type of construction, characterized by an apparent wooden frame, was common in French cities between the 13th and 16th centuries. Although its exact date of construction is not specified, its classification in 1941 reflects its heritage importance and its preservation as a vestige of the region's urban past.

The location of this house, in the historic centre of Chalon-sur-Saône, suggests an ancient role in the shopping or craft life of the city. At that time, wood-paned houses were often used as houses, workshops or shops for artisans and merchants. Their modular structure made it easy to adapt to the changing needs of occupants, reflecting a dynamic and organized society around trades and local commerce.

The classification of facades and roofs by decree of 22 December 1941 marks an official recognition of its architectural value. This status of Historic Monument ensures its protection and conservation for future generations. The data available, notably via the Mérimée database, confirm its exact address and its membership in the department of Saône-et-Loire, in the region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
