Origin and history

The house located in Orléans, in the Centre-Val de Loire region, is a historical monument integrated with a coherent architectural complex directly facing the Cathedral of Sainte-Croix. This building is distinguished by a neat overall order and a deliberately worked decor, reflecting a stylistic unit specific to the urban constructions of this area. Although the precise details of its construction or its first occupants are not mentioned, its inscription as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage importance in the Orléan landscape.

The official inscription of the facade and roof by decree of 19 February 1940 marks the recognition of its architectural and historical value. This legal protection aims to preserve the characteristic exterior elements of the building, bearing witness to an era when urban planning and the aesthetics of the city centres were marked by harmonious ensembles. The location of the house, in the immediate vicinity of the cathedral, suggests a role in the social and religious structure of the city, typical of the French historical centres where habitat and places of worship coexisted closely.
