Origin and history

The Maison des Bousseaux is a medieval dwelling located in the village of Martigny-le-Comte, in Burgundy-Franche-Comté. This monument illustrates the civil architecture of the Middle Ages, with interior arrangements typical of this period. Its designation as historic monuments, effective since 1 June 1995, underscores its heritage importance to the region.

Martigny-le-Comte, like many Burgundy villages, was in the Middle Ages a rural place organized around agriculture and handicrafts. The houses of that time served both as housing, as a place of work and sometimes as storage for crops. The Maison des Bousseaux, with its integrated oven, reflects this versatility of medieval buildings, adapted to the daily needs of local communities.

The inscription of the Bousseaux House in 1995 covers both the main building and its oven, which are inseparable from its historical use. Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its status as a protected monument, although details about its occupants or its precise history remain scarce. The approximate location, reported as "poor" by Monumentum, suggests a potential address at 11 Rue du Général de Gaulle, although this information must be verified.
