Origin and history

The log and brick house of Auxonne is an emblematic building of the 15th century, located in Burgundy-Franche-Comté. This type of construction, typical of medieval civil architecture, combines local materials such as wood and brick, reflecting the know-how of the period. Its location on the Place d'Armes, in the heart of the city, suggests a central role in the urban life of the time, although its exact use is not specified in the available sources.

Classified Historic Monument by order of 6 March 1950, this house is protected for its facades and roofs, testifying to the heritage importance accorded to this type of building. The accuracy of its location is considered to be "very satisfactory" (note 8/10), and its official address, 31 Place d'Armes, confirms its anchoring in the historic centre of Auxonne. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visit, rental, etc.), or on any significant owners or occupants.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum are limited to architectural and administrative descriptions. The lack of details about its specific history or its occupants invites us to consider this monument as a representative example of the bourgeois or artisanal habitat of the 15th century in Burgundy, a period marked by an urban and commercial boom after the crises of the late Middle Ages.
