Origin and history

The medieval house of Périgueux is a Romanesque building whose structure, spread over three levels, houses a large inner room. This monument preserved original elements, including some windows and a 13th century wall painting adorning the second floor bedroom. These details demonstrate its architectural and artistic importance for the medieval period.

Over the centuries, the house has undergone major changes. A set of 17th century buildings was added to the original core, partially changing its appearance while maintaining its historical character. These additions reflect the evolution of architectural needs and styles between the Middle Ages and the modern era.

Classified as a Historic Monument, the house has been protected since 2004, including its anterior and posterior courtyard. Its inscription underlines its heritage value, both for its architecture and for its interior decorations, such as medieval mural painting. The precise location, at 6 rue Notre-Dame, makes it a key part of the heritage of Périgueux, in the Dordogne department.

Practical information indicates an approximate location, with a map accuracy considered fair (note 5/10). Although details on public access or current uses (visits, rentals) are not explicitly provided, its status as a Historic Monument suggests active preservation for future generations.
