Origin and history

The house in Richelieu, in the Indre-et-Loire department, is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. It is distinguished by its facade and roof, protected by ministerial decree since 9 June 1932. This classification reflects its heritage importance in the commune, although details of its history or occupants remain little documented in available sources.

Richelieu, the emblematic city of the Centre-Val de Loire region, developed around a town planning planned in the seventeenth century under the impulse of Cardinal de Richelieu. The houses of this time, often made of tuffeau stone, illustrate the civil architecture characteristic of the region. This type of building, typical of the central squares, generally served as a bourgeois residence or space linked to local commercial and craft activities.
