Origin and history

The house in Lons-le-Saunier is a building built between the second half of the 16th century and the first half of the 17th century. It is distinguished by its trapezoidal shape and a corbelling tower in its southern angle. Near the 14th century medieval enclosure, it belonged to the Tiercelines, a religious community. This building illustrates the architectural evolutions of the late Renaissance in the region.

The building on street dates from the 18th century, while the earlier façade was rebuilt in the mid-19th century. A second building, located between the courtyard and the garden, probably dates back to the 16th or 17th century, but underwent modifications in the 18th century. The ground floor was altered in the 20th century to accommodate shops. Only the facades, roof, turret and cellar of the building between courtyard and garden have been protected since 1996.
