Origin and history

The 16th century noble house in Curemonte is distinguished by its Renaissance architecture. It is composed of a body of rectangular houses overlooking the street and a round tower housing a spiral staircase. Its architectural decor allows it to date precisely the sixteenth century. This type of construction reflects the high social status of its owners, probably linked to the seigneurial administration or the offices of the local castles.

This residence belonged to an officer in charge of the Curemonte castles, suggesting its importance in the local hierarchy. The house was partially protected under the Historic Monuments by an order of 4 May 2000, covering its facades, roofs, stair tower and an interior fireplace. Its location, in the heart of the medieval village of Curemonte in Corrèze, reinforces its heritage interest in a rural context marked by feudal and reborn history.

The location of the house at 3 Rue Colette de Jouvenel is documented with a priori satisfactory accuracy (level 6/10). Although the practical information about its visit or current use (chambres d'hôtes, location) is not specified in the sources, its listing as Historic Monuments makes it a key element of New Aquitaine's built heritage. The data comes mainly from the Merimée database and the Creative Commons license associated with the photographs of the monument.
