Origin and history

The house at 8 rue du Headquarters in Sarlat-la-Canéda is a 14th century building, representative of the medieval architectural heritage of the region. Classified as a Historic Monument, it is distinguished by its facade and roof on the street, protected by a decree of inscription in 1944. These elements reflect construction techniques and decorative styles in vogue at that time in southwestern France.

Sarlat-la-Canéda, emblematic of the Black Perigord, was in the Middle Ages a dynamic economic and religious center. The houses of this period often served as housing for local merchants, artisans or notables, thus participating in the lively urban life of the city. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the social organization and architectural evolution of the city throughout the centuries.

The exact address of this house, mentioned in the Merimée base, is 8 rue du Headquarters, although approximate GPS coordinates are also located near the rue de Turenne. This duality of location illustrates the challenges sometimes encountered in the precise documentation of historical monuments, especially in the city centres with narrow and winding alleys.
