Richelieu, the emblematic city of the Centre-Val de Loire region, has been marked by a rich urban history, particularly linked to its role in territorial planning under the Ancien Régime. The houses of that time, often built of tuffeau stone or brick, served as housing for local notables, artisans or religious. Their architecture reflected the stylistic influences of the Renaissance or French classicism, depending on the periods.

This type of building contributed to the social and economic structure of cities, sometimes hosting commercial or administrative activities.
