Origin and history

The house at 17 rue Saint-Nicolas in Angers is an emblematic building of the Angelian heritage. Originally dating from the 15th century, it was protected under the Historic Monuments on October 1, 1963, as part of the urban renovations of the 1960s. Its facade and roof on street, inscribed in the inventory, testify to the medieval civil architecture of the region.

Before the work of the ZAC Saint-Nicolas, the house occupied a central place in the historic urban fabric of Angers. Its staircase, rebuilt in the 20th century, illustrates the modern adaptations to ancient structures. The current address, 7 rue Vieille Saint-Nicolas, reflects the toponymic evolutions associated with the transformations of the neighbourhood.

The location of this monument, although noted as 'passable' (level 5/10) in the databases, remains a point of interest to understand the Angevin urban planning. Available sources, such as Monumentum, underline its importance in the local heritage, despite the lack of details about its original use or its historical occupants.
