Origin and history

The Nogent-le-Roi log house is an emblematic building of late medieval civil architecture, although its construction period is specified in the 16th century in available sources. This type of construction, combining wood and exposed bricks, was common in the prosperous towns of the Centre-Val de Loire region, where local wood and brick offered durable and aesthetic materials. The wood gable, characteristic of this house, reflects the traditional construction techniques of the time, adapted to the resources and needs of the inhabitants.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 20 March 1967, this house is distinguished by its protected facades and roofs, located on 2 rue du Général-de-Gaulle (formerly Grande-Rue). Its inscription reflects the desire to preserve an architectural heritage representative of the 16th and 17th century urban dwellings in Eure-et-Loir. Although the accuracy of its location is considered "a priori satisfactory", its exact address and current state (private property, potentially open to uses such as rental or accommodation) underline its anchoring in the historical and social fabric of Nogent-le-Roi.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its status as private property and its integration into the urban landscape of the municipality, marked by the Insee code 28279. The lack of details about its historical occupants or its original use limits the knowledge of its specific role in the community. However, this type of log house was usually associated with local artisans, merchants or notables, playing a central role in the economic and social life of modern-day towns.
