Covered gallery: inscription by order of 25 June 1929
Origin and history
The house Castignolles is integrated into a remarkable architectural ensemble of Mirepoix, known as the Cutlery. These covered gallery houses, typical of the historical centre, form a characteristic alignment of the medieval city. Their structure protects passers-by while sheltering commercial or artisanal activities on the ground floor.
The inclusion of the covered gallery of the house Castignolles in the inventory of Historical Monuments by order of 25 June 1929 underlines its heritage importance. This type of construction reflects medieval urban planning and the adaptation of habitats to collective needs, such as market exchanges or weather protection. No additional information on its specific history or occupants is available from the sources consulted.
