Origin and history

The 15th century house in Cour-sur-Loire is a historic monument located in the commune of Cour-sur-Loire, in the department of Loir-et-Cher (region Centre-Val de Loire). This civil building, typical of late medieval architecture, is distinguished by a facade adorned with three large carved picture windows. Access is done by a basket handle door, raised by a few steps and centered on the façade, topped by two small carved windows, one of which has a shield. These decorative elements bear witness to a remarkable craftsmanship for the time.

The protection of this monument was formalized by a decree of 22 October 1971, which specifically listed the façade and the roof on street under the title of Historic Monuments. The precise address, 2 rue de Verdun, corresponds to that recorded in the Merimée base, confirming its anchoring in the historical urban fabric of Cour-sur-Loire. Although the sources do not specify its original use, this type of bourgeois or artisanal house was often linked to the commercial or residential activities of medieval city centres.

Architectural details, such as carved window panels and basket handle doors, reflect late Gothic influences, common in the area in the 15th century. The location, noted as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), suggests a relative conservation of the building in its original environment. No information is available on current public access, possible visit, or reassignment of the building (guest rooms, rental room, etc.).
