Origin and history

The 15th century House, located in Chanceaux in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is an emblematic monument of medieval civil architecture. Built in the 15th century, it bears witness to the built heritage of this period in the region, marked by a transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Its facades and roofs, overlooking the old national road 71, were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 2 March 1926, highlighting their heritage value.

In the 15th century, Burgundy-Franche-Comté was a dynamic region, marked by a rural and artisanal economy. The houses of this period often served as housing for local merchants, artisans or notables, reflecting their social status. This type of building, with its architectural characteristics (apparent beams, steep roofs), illustrates the know-how of the builders of the period and their adaptation to local needs. The protection of the façade and roof in 1926 attests to the importance attached to the preservation of this heritage.

Available data indicate that the location of the house is approximate, with an accuracy considered "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10). The exact address mentioned in the Merimée base is "R.N. 71, 21440 Chances", while GPS coordinates suggest 34 Grande Rue. These variations highlight the challenges associated with the precise documentation of ancient monuments, often modified or renamed over the centuries.
