Origin and history

The house located on Rue des Templiers in Salers, dated the 15th century, is a historic monument registered since 1951. It is distinguished by its facade in volcanic stone (lave) and shale, typical of local architecture. The ogival door on the ground floor, composed of two boudins with a straight lintel, was once to wear a decorative motif today disappeared. To the left, a large bay in basket handle, now blocked, completes the main opening. These elements reflect construction techniques and ornamental styles in vogue in the region at that time.

The upper floor has two distinct windows: one with a lintel carved in braid, the other with leggings and a ground lintel. The staircase tower, illuminated by four superimposed bays, illustrates the importance attached to vertical circulation in bourgeois or notable houses of the late Middle Ages. The materials used, such as lava for frames, emphasize the adaptation of builders to local resources, while revealing a marked aesthetic concern. Together, today owned by an association, bears witness to Salers' preserved civil heritage.

The official protection of the façade, roof and carpentry of the door in 1951 attests to its heritage value. Although the exact address (5229 rue des Templiers) and GPS location are documented, cartographic accuracy remains poor (note of 5/10), which can complicate its accurate tracking. No information is available on its current accessibility, whether visitation, rental or accommodation.
