Origin and history

The house in Saint-Piat, in the department of Eure-et-Loir (28), is a 16th-century civil building. It is distinguished by two windows characteristic of this period, protected by a registration order under the Historical Monuments dated 19 October 1928. The exact address, 11 rue de la République (formerly rue Bourgeois), places this building in the heart of the village, in an urban environment marked by medieval and reborn history of the region.

The classification of this house as a Historic Monument underscores its heritage importance, although the available sources do not specify its original use or its potential owners. The windows of the 16th century, remarkable architectural elements, illustrate the Renaissance style that developed in France at that time, especially in the Centre-Val de Loire, region then influenced by Italian artistic currents and royal or aristocratic sponsors. The approximate location, noted as "a priori satisfactory", suggests that the building may have undergone subsequent modifications, but retains significant traces of its past.

Saint-Piat, a commune attached to the arrondissement of Chartres, is part of a territory marked by a rich history, between agriculture, handicrafts and proximity to the major commercial axes of the modern era. The houses of this period often served as housing for the bourgeois, merchants or artisans, reflecting the local social and economic hierarchy. Although little information is available on this specific house, its ranking shows the desire to preserve an architectural heritage representative of everyday life during the Renaissance in Eure-et-Loir.
