Origin and history

The Maison du Coin Saint-Pierre, located at 13 rue Étienne-Dolet in Orléans, is an emblematic 16th century building. This monument, whose street façade has been protected since 1925, illustrates Renaissance civil architecture in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage importance, although its precise location remains approximate according to available sources.

The house is located in the Loiret department, identified by Insee code 45234, and now belongs to a private company. Although information on its current use (visits, rental, accommodation) is missing, its exact address and partial protection reflect its anchoring in the Orléan heritage. The Creative Commons license associated with his photo suggests a documentary and cultural interest.

The historical context of the 16th century in Orléans, a dynamic town in the Loire Valley, was marked by an urban and commercial boom. The bourgeois houses like this reflected the prosperity of local merchants and artisans. Their role in the social and economic life of the city, often linked to commerce or easy housing, made them symbols of status and stability in a period of transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
