Origin and history

The 16th-century House, located in Faverney, Haute-Saône, is a quasi-square plan building with a stair tower on a protruding courtyard side. Its structure includes a vaulted cot basement, a ground floor, a floor and an attic floor. Although deeply transformed over the centuries, the building retains a street façade marked by a door carved with motifs and surmounted by an armored coat of arms. A statue of the Virgin to the Child, dated 1660, sits under a paved stone dais, addition after the initial construction.

Inside, the ground floor houses a door-chambranle leading to the stair tower, adorned with a lintel carved with quadrulobed grids. These decorative elements, typical of the transition between the flamboyant Gothic and the Renaissance, suggest a construction between the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The house, classified Historic Monument by decree of 16 April 2009, illustrates the Burgundian civil architecture of this period, combining residential functions and prestige symbols.

The exact address, 17 Thiers Street in Faverney, places the monument in a historic urban context, although GPS coordinates suggest an approximate location near (1 Rue de la Belle Croix). Map accuracy is assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), reflecting uncertainties related to available sources. The building, fully protected (cadastre AB 256), bears witness to architectural transformations and baroque additions, such as the Marian statue, which enrich its material history.
