Origin and history

The house in the Dog is a building built between the 16th and 17th centuries, located at 1 rue Chaudrier in La Rochelle. It is representative of the civil architecture of this period in the region. Its name probably comes from an architectural detail or a missing sign, although the sources do not specify its exact origin. The building was listed as historic monuments on 14 June 1928, protecting its facades.

The dating of the house can be estimated in the 3rd quarter of the 16th century, compared to another residence of the city dated 1554, located 47 rue du Temple. This stylistic analogy suggests a construction in an expanding urban context, marked by maritime commerce and Protestant influence in La Rochelle. The inscription as a historic monument in 1928 underscores its heritage importance.
