Origin and history

The house in Parthenay, in the Deux-Sèvres department (79), is a monument dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. It is located at 6 rue de la Vau-Saint-Jacques, an address that has evolved over time, formerly known as 79 rue du 14-Jullet. This building has been included in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1926, with a specific protection for its facade, identified under the A 220 cadastre.

The building reflects the civil architecture of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, a period marked by urban and social transformations in Poitou-Charentes. At that time, bourgeois or artisanal houses played a central role in the economic and social life of cities. Their facade, often richly decorated, reflected the status of their owners and the growth of local commercial activities.

The location of this house, although specified by GPS coordinates and an exact address, is considered of average quality (note 5/10) in the heritage databases. No information is available on its current accessibility, whether visitation, rental or accommodation. The sources mention only its status as a Historical Monument and its partial protection.
