Origin and history

Bosselut House, located in Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne in Corrèze (Nouvelle-Aquitaine), is a 15th century historical monument. It illustrates the civil architecture of the late Middle Ages, with characteristic elements such as an entrance door adorned with an armored shield and a flamboyant staircase turret. These decorative details, associated with the crossovers, underline the social status of its original owners, probably from the bourgeoisie or the small local nobility.

The stair turret, an element protected by an order of 22 August 1949, is the historic heart of the building. Its flamboyant style, marked by decorated motifs and spiral structure, reflects the artistic influences of the period. The facades also retain two 15th century crosses, bearing witness to the stylistic unit of the building. Although the sources do not specify the original use of the house, its preservation suggests local importance, possibly linked to the trade or administration of the medieval city.

The monument is part of the urban landscape of Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, a city marked by its religious and commercial history. The Rue de la République, where it is located, was probably a central axis of the bourade in the Middle Ages. The lack of data on its occupants or its exact function limits its understanding of its precise role, but its listing as Historic Monuments in 1949 attests to its heritage value. Available photographs, such as that of Father Igor under Creative Commons license, document his current state, while his location is specified by GPS coordinates and the Merimée base.
