Origin and history
The Maison de Coligny in Moncontour is an emblematic 15th century monument located in the commune of Moncontour, New Aquitaine. This building, whose precise address is 1 Rue de la Barre, is distinguished by its medieval architecture, including a large Gothic window on the first floor, classified as Historic Monument by order of 10 December 1927. This protection concerns only this architectural element, stressing its heritage importance.
Moncontour, attached to the Department of Vienna (code Insee 86161), is part of the former Poitou-Charentes region, now integrated into New Aquitaine. The location of the Maison de Coligny is estimated with poor accuracy (note 5/10), according to available data. Although little detailed information is provided on its historical use, this type of medieval house often reflects the social status of its owners, such as noble or bourgeois families of the time.
Available sources, such as Monumentum, indicate that the House of Coligny is not explicitly associated with historical characters or significant events beyond its protection in 1927. No mention is made of its current accessibility, whether it be visits, rentals or accommodation. The lack of additional details limits the understanding of its precise role in local history, but its ranking reflects its architectural and historical value.
