Origin and history

The house in Lucéram, in the Alpes-Maritimes, is a 13th century building. It is distinguished by a window characteristic of this period, classified by ministerial decree on 21 October 1932. This classification reflects the heritage value of this architectural element, rare for a civilian dwelling of this time in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

The exact address of this monument, according to the Merimée base, is Rue de la Placette in Lucéram (code INSEE 06077). The GPS location, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10), allows to situate the building in the historic heart of the village. No additional information is available on its original use, its owners or any subsequent transformations.

The village of Lucéram, like many medieval localities in the region, was organized around a clustered habitat, where stone houses played a central role in everyday life. These buildings often reflected the social status of their occupants and served as both a place of life, a place of work (crafts, agriculture) and sometimes protection. The 13th century windows, like the one protected here, were generally narrow, for reasons of both safety and thermal regulation, characteristic of the constructive techniques of the time.
