Origin and history
The House of the 13th and 16th centuries, located in Selles-sur-Cher in the Loir-et-Cher, is a monument whose origins seem to be related to the outbuildings of the ancient castle of Clamey. This partially preserved building would also have served as a barn or salt attic for the monastery of Selles. Its architecture combines traces of the 13th and 16th centuries, with a facade on the quay marked by two ogival meneau openings, typical of the late Gothic style.
The main façade, classified as a Historical Monument since 1946, features carved pilasters and capitals, testimony to the artisanal know-how of the period. A second building, redesigned and adjacent to the former, suggests further expansion or reuse of the site. Although its exact use remains partially hypothetical, its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage importance.
The precise address, 29 quai Soubeyran, and its Insee code (41242) confirm its anchoring in the commune of Selles-sur-Cher, in the region Centre-Val de Loire. The location, noted as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), makes it possible to identify the monument in its current urban context, although uncertainties remain on its detailed history before the twentieth century.
