Origin and history

The Camboly House is an emblematic residence of the architectural heritage of Fleurey, village of the Doubs department in Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Built between the last quarter of the 16th century and the first quarter of the 17th century, it embodies the residential style of this pivotal period between Renaissance and modern times. The engraved dates of 1587 and 1616 on its façade attest to its origin and architectural evolution over nearly three decades.

The house is distinguished by notable architectural elements, such as a staircase with screws and a vaulted room in a dogive cross located in its southern part. These characteristics reflect the influence of late Renaissance construction techniques, while adapting to the domestic needs of the time. The building, although its exact date of construction remains uncertain, was officially recognized for its heritage value by an inscription to historic monuments on 12 January 1995.

Located at 18 Rue des Fontaines in Fleurey, the Camboly House integrates into the urban fabric of the village, testifying to the local history and lifestyles of the inhabitants of this region at the end of the Renaissance. Its listing in the inventory of historical monuments underlines its importance as a preserved example of the Burgundy-franc-comtois habitat of this time. No information is available about its current use (visit, rental, etc.) or its potential historic owners.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and the Merimée base, confirm its status as a protected monument and provide details of its architecture and location. However, the archives do not mention any sponsors or historical figures related to its construction, leaving a mystery about the precise origins of this emblematic house.
