Origin and history

The house Guedon is an emblematic 15th century building, located in the medieval village of Peruges, in the department of Ain. This building, typical of the civil architecture of the time, is distinguished by its street façade and the ramparts that depend on it, elements protected since 1929.

Classified as historical monuments by order of 11 October 1929, Guedon House illustrates the preserved architectural heritage of Peruges. Its inscription specifically concerns the facade and associated defensive structures, reflecting the historical importance of this type of dwelling in the fortified villages of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

The village of Peruges, with its cobbled alleys and stone houses, offers a testimony of daily life in the Middle Ages. Houses such as that of the Guedons served both as a dwelling and a place of commerce, playing a central role in the social and economic organization of medieval towns. Their preservation now allows us to understand the lifestyles and construction techniques of this period.
