Origin and history

The house in Sarlat-la-Canéda, Dordogne (New Aquitaine), is a historical monument built in the 15th and 18th centuries. It is distinguished by its architecture in bricks or torchis with half-timbered, typical of the dwellings of this period in the region. The building is partially protected, with its facades on the square and on the street, as well as its roof, inscribed by decree of 16 December 1963.

The location of this house, in 6 Place du Peyrou and rue de La-Boétie, reflects the medieval and modern urbanism of Sarlat, a city known for its preserved architectural heritage. The accuracy of its geographical location is assessed as "a priori satisfactory", based on available data. Although the sources do not specify its original use, this type of house could serve as a bourgeois or artisanal dwelling, integrated into the dense urban fabric of the city.

The protected elements of this house, namely its facades and roof, underline its heritage importance. The inclusion in the title of the Historical Monuments in 1963 reflects the desire to preserve this type of construction, representative of the techniques and materials used in the 15th and 18th centuries in south-western France. No information is available on its current accessibility or possible tourist use.
