Origin and history

This house, located in Selles-sur-Cher, in the Loir-et-Cher, is a historical monument dating back to the 16th and 18th centuries. It is distinguished by its proximity to the old castle of Clamecy, of which it could have been an addiction. According to a local tradition, Joan of Arc stayed there during her visit to the city. The street façade, restored in the 17th century, features a pavilion decorated with canned pilasters and carved capitals, while the right part retains remains of older walls.

The courtyard façade is framed by a gable on the left and a square turret on the right. On the first floor, the windows are decorated with carved pilasters and capitals, and a skylight features a pediment decorated with a shell and decorative motifs. The frame of a meneau window is enriched with carved diamond pilasters. The house and commons date from the first half of the 16th century, while a new facade was added on the rue du Four in the second half of the 19th century.

The facades and roofs of this house were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 20 September 1946. The precise address is 15 rue du Four and 18 rue de Clamecy, in an area whose location is considered satisfactory a priori.
