Façades, roof and stairwell: inscription by decree of 6 December 1949
Origin and history
The house located in Bagnols-sur-Cèze is a mansion built in the seventeenth century, classified as a Historic Monument. Its facade, with a sober ornamentation, is distinguished by a cornice highlighting the allegations of the first floor and a banner marking those of the second, crowned with a wide cornice decorated with gargoyles in the shape of animals. The slightly curved windows have keys adorned with alternating figures and patterns, while a workpiece accentuates the angles and central pattern.
Access is via a cochère door leading to a courtyard, where a large double-revolution staircase, covered with a gypsum ceiling, serves the floors. This monumental staircase, along with the facades and roof, was protected by a decree of inscription in 1949. The precise address, 15 rue Fernand-Crémieux, is located in the centre of Bagnols-sur-Cèze, in the department of Gard.
The architecture of this mansion reflects 17th century aesthetic codes, combining simplicity of discreet but elaborate sculptural lines and details. Gargoyles, adorned keys and bossing recall the influence of the classic models of the era, adapted to an urban residence of prestige. The partial protection of the monument in 1949 underscores its heritage interest, particularly in its stairwell and facade elements.
