Origin and history
The 14th century House, located in Cordes-sur-Ciel in the Tarn, is a typical example of medieval civil architecture. Built of cut stone, it stands out for its arcade ground floor and its modernized openings on the first floor. The second floor features six twined bays, adorned with carved columns and capitals, topped by circular doculus and broken arch mouldings.
Classified as a Historic Monument, this house illustrates the know-how of 14th century artisans. Its inscription in the inventory in 1927 specifically protects its facade on street, emphasizing its heritage importance. Although its current use (visit, rental, accommodation) is not specified, its location on the Grande-Rue, in the heart of the medieval city, makes it a witness to urban planning and the daily life of the period.
Architectural details, such as carved pedestals and capitals, reflect the influence of regional Gothic styles. The approximate location, noted as "passable" in the databases, suggests a harmonious integration into the historical urban fabric of Cordes-sur-Ciel, an emblematic perched city of Midi-Pyrénées (now Occitanie).
