Origin and history

The house at 26 rue de la Monnaie in Tours, in the department of Indre-et-Loire, is a 15th century historical monument. It is distinguished by its floors of basement vaults in cradle, typical of medieval civil architecture, as well as its configuration of corner house with lateral corridor. These architectural features are a valuable testimony to the urban dwellings of that time.

Classified as a Historical Monument, this house was partially protected by decree of 10 January 1928, specifically covering its facades and roofs. Its location, at the intersection of rue de la Monnaie and rue du Change, suggests a possible link to the commercial or artisanal activities of Tours in the Middle Ages, although available sources do not specify its original use.

The location data indicate average accuracy (level 5/10), with an approximate address also referenced at 2 rue du Change. This change in address may reflect urban changes or transcription errors in archives. No information is available on its current accessibility, whether it be visits, rentals or accommodation.
