Origin and history

The Maison de Saint-Jean, located in Aubigny-sur-Nère in the Cher, is a historic monument dating from the 16th century. It is distinguished by its torchi and wood architecture, organized around an inner courtyard. The main house body is accompanied by two buildings in return, connected by polygonal and square turrets at the junction points. A corbelled wooden balcony adds to its typical character of the time.

Classified as a Historic Monument since 1926, this house illustrates the Renaissance civil architecture in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Its U-shaped plan, with defensive elements such as turrets, reflects a transition between medieval protection needs and emerging residential comfort. The precise location, 18 rue du Bourg-Coutant, and its listing (cadastre AW 315) confirm its heritage importance.

Available sources, including Monumentum, highlight its architectural and historical value. Although the details of its occupants or its original function are not specified in the data, its state of conservation and location (estimated at 6/10 in precision) make it a remarkable witness to the old building of Aubigny-sur-Nère.
