Origin and history

The house at 56 rue de la Vau-Saint-Jacques in Parthenay is a 15th and 16th century building. Classified as a Historical Monument, it illustrates the civil architecture of this period, with a facade protected by ministerial decree since 1926. Its location in the city center reflects the medieval town planning of Parthenay, then prosperous town of Poitou.

The inscription of his façade as the Historic Monuments in 1926 underscores his heritage importance. Although the sources do not specify its original use, this type of house was often linked to artisanal or commercial activities, characteristic of the dynamic towns of the time. The location, today in the Deux-Sèvres department, places this monument in a regional context marked by trade and active urban life.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate a location accuracy considered "passable" (note 5/10). No information is provided on its current accessibility, whether visitation, rental or accommodation. GPS coordinates and postal address confirm its anchoring in the historical fabric of Parthenay, New Aquitaine.
