Origin and history

The House of Anthouard, located in Écully in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, is a second quarter building dating from the 17th century. This monument, inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 7 February 1975, is distinguished by its facades, roofs and a richly decorated staircase. These protected elements reflect the civil architecture of this period, with particular attention to ornamental details and symmetry of volumes.

The location of the Maison d'Anthouard, on the 2 bis route de Champagne, is documented in the Mérimée base, with an accuracy deemed "a priori satisfactory". This type of dwelling, characteristic of the 17th and 18th centuries, often reflects the social status of its owners, usually from the bourgeoisie or the local nobility. At that time, Écully, close to Lyon, enjoyed a strategic position, between town and country, attracting wealthy families in search of secondary or main residences.

The legal protections applied to this monument, including the 1975 inscription, aim to preserve its architectural heritage. The facades and roofs, as well as the staircase with its decor, are representative examples of the classic French style, where the balance of proportions and the richness of the interior motifs play a central role. No additional information is available about the historic owners or the specific uses of this house over the centuries.
