Origin and history
The house Duché, located in Turenne in the Corrèze department (Nouvelle-Aquitaine), is an emblematic 16th century building. It is distinguished by its corner turret, built on a scauguette-shaped cap, characteristic of Renaissance civil architecture. This architectural detail, both aesthetic and functional, reflects the influence of the defensive and decorative innovations of the time.
Classified as a Historic Monument, the house is particularly associated with General Duché, although the sources do not specify its exact role in the construction or history of the building. The cul-de-lampe turret was registered by order of August 22, 1949, highlighting its heritage value. The exact address, 5045 Rue Droite, and its Insee code (19273) confirm its anchoring in the medieval village of Turenne, known for its preserved architectural heritage.
Practical information on public access (visits, rental, accommodation) is not detailed in the available sources. The location, noted as "passable" (level 5/10), suggests an approximation in GPS coordinates, without altering the clear identification of the monument in the urban fabric of Turenne.
