Origin and history

The house in Richelieu, in Indre-et-Loire, is a monument listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments. Although its exact construction period is not specified in the available sources, its architecture and inscription in 1932 underline its heritage importance.

Richelieu, emblematic city of the Centre-Val de Loire region, was marked by a rich urban and architectural history, notably under the influence of Cardinal Richelieu in the 17th century. The houses of this period, often linked to the development of the planned city, served as residences for local notables or artisans. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the social and economic organization of the period, as well as the role of civilian buildings in structuring urban spaces.
