Origin and history
The Neria House is a historic residence located in Ciboure, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, representative of the architectural style of Labourdin. Built in the first half of the 17th century, it is distinguished by its northern facade in thick wood strips, forming corbellations on each floor. The original door, framed with stones and surmounted by a full arch, bears witness to its authenticity.
In 1813 and 1814, the house served as a hospital for the Duke of Wellington's troops during the Napoleonic wars. After this period, the ground floor was transformed into a fish cellar and then into a net factory after World War II. These successive uses reflect the adaptation of the building to local economic needs.
Classified as a historic monument since 30 May 1990 for its main façade and roof, the Neria house now belongs to the municipality of Ciboure. Its location on the hill of Bordagain, overlooking the city, makes it a landmark of Basque heritage, mixing military, artisanal and architectural history.
