Origin and history
The house of Doctor Faige, located in Collonges-la-Rouge in Corrèze, is a remarkable example of 16th century civil architecture. Built of cut stone and red sandstone bellows, it features a red lauze cover, a staircase integrated into a turret, and an entrance door with a braid. These elements, typical of the Renaissance, reflect the local craftsmanship and influence of the architectural styles of the period, especially with the cross-sections and doors in basket handle or brace.
The façade on the hall side presents a door with a braid and a cross called "at the Tudor", a rare detail highlighting the mixture of stylistic influences. The house, classified as a Historic Monument since 1951 for its facades, roofs and staircase, illustrates the built heritage of Collonges-la-Rouge, a village known for its red sandstone constructions. Its inscription reflects the desire to preserve this unique architectural heritage, linked to local and regional history.
The precise address, 5081 rue de la Barrière, and its Insee code (19057) confirm its anchoring in the department of Corrèze, in New Aquitaine. Although the information on its current use (visit, rental) is not detailed, its protected status makes it a key part of the heritage of Collonges-la-Rouge, emblematic village of Limousin.
