Origin and history

The house in Collonges-la-Rouge is an emblematic building of the 16th and 18th centuries, built in red sandstone, woodpan and torchis. This building on the ground floor and floor is distinguished by its balcony-loggia, typical of local architecture. Its facades and roofs, as well as the loggia, were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by decree of 5 January 1951, highlighting their heritage value.

The location of this monument, Place de la Halle in Collonges-la-Rouge, in Corrèze (Nouvelle-Aquitaine), makes it a central element of the village. The village, known for its red sandstone constructions, reflects a history of handicrafts and local commerce, where wood-paned houses served both as a dwelling and as a place for economic activities.

The protection of this monument is part of a desire to preserve the rural architectural heritage, where local materials such as red sandstone and torchi testify to traditional know-how. Loggia, a remarkable element, may have served as a space for sociability or commerce, although its exact use is not specified in the sources.

The approximate GPS coordinates (5082 Le Bourg) and the official address (Place de la Halle) confirm its anchoring in the historic centre of Collonges-la-Rouge. This monument thus illustrates the architectural evolution between the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, in a rural context marked by the use of abundant natural resources.
