House of the sixteenth century: inscription by decree of 16 June 1926
Origin and history
The house located at 13 rue du Temple in Saumur is a second half of the 15th century hotel, with two characteristic corner scallops. This building, partially renovated in the 17th (west gable) and 18th centuries (south facade), retains medieval and Renaissance architectural elements. A 19th-century appentis, next to the back, forms a covered passage leading to a stair tower, late but functional addition.
Classified as a Historical Monument by decree of June 16, 1926, this house illustrates the architectural evolution between the Middle Ages and the modern era. Its contemporary outbuildings of the hotel bear witness to successive adaptations, especially for practical purposes (access to the stair tower). The location in the city centre of Saumur, in a historic district, reinforces its heritage interest.
The sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) specify its exact address and its Insee code (49328), confirming its anchoring in Maine-et-Loire and the Pays de la Loire region. No information is available on its current uses (visit, rental) or possible historical owners.
