Origin and history

The house of the Master Tanneur, located in Eymoutiers in Haute-Vienne, is an architectural testimony of the seventeenth century linked to the flourishing tannin industry of the region. Built on the edge of Vienna, it is distinguished by its wooden attic-dryer, typical of tanners' houses, and its trapezoidal plan separated from the street by a courtyard. The building retains remarkable interior elements such as woodwork, chimneys, and studded ceilings, as well as an inscription "HS 1609" on a lintel.

The house was erected by the Cramouzaud family, notable in Eymoutiers at the beginning of the seventeenth century, when the city was famous for its tanneries. These workshops, which were active until the end of the 19th century, left as a legacy houses with attices on the cross of Saint Andrew, designed to dry the skins. The Maison du Maître Tanneur, partially classified as a Historic Monument in 1980, also includes a French-style garden and decorated interior spaces, reflecting the social status of its owners.

The official protections cover facades, roofs, wooden staircases, old workshops, and several rooms with preserved decorations (such as the Salon des Quatre-Saisons or the Blue Room). The attic-dryer, an emblematic element, and the court "Directoire" with its terraced garden, are also registered. These provisions underline the heritage importance of the site, both for its architecture and its link to local economic history.
