This historic monument is distinguished by its medieval civil architecture, typical of the Poitou-Charentes region. The facade and roof of this house were inscribed under the title of the Historic Monuments by order of October 16, 1930, highlighting their heritage value and preservation.

In the 15th century, Niort was a dynamic city, marked by commercial and craft activities. The houses of that time often reflected the prosperity of their owners, usually merchants or local notables.
