Origin and history

The house in 13 Place de la Laiterie in Angers is a 14th and 15th century civil building. It is representative of the medieval urban architecture of the city, marked by facades and roofs characteristic of this period. The building was classified as Historic Monument by decree of 4 November 1963, specifically protecting its facades and roofs, as evidenced by the cadastral references K 473, 474p, 476p and 477p.

The location of this monument, in the historic centre of Angers, reflects the importance of this city in the Middle Ages, then capital of Anjou and economic and political crossroads. The houses of that time often served as houses for local merchants, artisans or notables, thus participating in daily life and urban dynamism. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the social and architectural organization of medieval cities.

The house now belongs to the municipality of Angers, suggesting a desire to preserve and enhance the local heritage. Although available sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) do not specify its current use, its ranking and location make it a key element of the Angelian heritage. The accuracy of its location is estimated at 5/10, indicating an average knowledge of its exact location.
