Origin and history
The house located at 2 rue Gaveau in Béziers is a 16th century building, representative of Renaissance architecture in the region. It is distinguished by a carved window, typical of the Toulouse school, adorned with cariatids that bear witness to the artistic know-how of the period. This architectural detail led to its inscription as Historic Monument in 1931, specifically protecting this element of the facade on courtyard.
The house is also known to be the birthplace of Jean-Antoine Injalbert (1845–1933), a sculptor from the country whose work marks the local heritage. The Toulouse influence, visible in the Renaissance window, reflects cultural exchanges between the cities of Occitanie during this period. The building, although partially preserved, remains a modest but significant example of Béziers' civil architectural heritage.
The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée and Monumentum bases, places the monument in the historic center of the city. Its state of conservation and its access to the public are not specified in the available sources, but its listing as Historic Monuments makes it a protected heritage element for nearly a century.
