Covered gallery: inscription by order of 25 June 1929
Origin and history
The Labadie House is part of an architectural complex called Les Couverts, located in the city of Mirepoix, in Ariège (Occitanie). This monument is characterized by a covered gallery, typical of medieval or post-medieval buildings intended to house commercial and pedestrian activities. The inscription in the Historical Monuments, which took place by decree on 25 June 1929, specifically concerns this gallery, stressing its heritage importance and its remarkable state of conservation for the time.
Mirepoix's Cutlery is part of an urban context where covered spaces played a central role in everyday life. These structures were used to protect merchants and passers-by from the weather, while structuring the public space around economic and social activities. Although the details of the exact origin of the Labadie House or its historical owners are lacking, its integration into this type of architectural ensemble reflects the constructive practices and community needs of the ancient periods in Midi-Pyrénées (now Occitanie).
