Origin and history
The house known as notaries, located in Château-Renard in the Loiret, is a 16th century historical monument. It consists of two separate buildings: a corner house and a second, called the "house of notaries", built in wooden strips. As early as 1545, the latter served as a study for notaries, although its interior layouts were largely modified by subsequent restorations.
The rear façade reveals a remarkable exterior staircase, preserved in a wooden cage. This staircase, serving all levels up to the attic, features straight balusters of different models, as well as a silt supported by curved aislemakers forming a crawling arc. The structure, typical of the region, illustrates the local craftsmanship of the period, with a sommital balustrade considered the oldest part.
The building was partially protected by an order of 28 September 2004, covering wooden facades, roofs and staircases. Today, it is owned by the commune and bears witness to the professional and social organization of Château-Renard in the Renaissance, where notaries played a central role in legal and administrative life.
