Origin and history

The house at 12 rue de la Coutelerie in Thiers is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its protected element, the façade, was officially recognized by an order dated 13 July 1926. This ranking underscores its heritage importance in the city centre of Thiers, a commune marked by its industrial history, particularly related to cutlery.

Thiers, located in the department of Puy-de-Dôme in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, is a city whose economy and identity have long been shaped by the craftsmanship of cutlery. The old houses, like this one, often reflect the civil architecture of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, periods during which the city experienced an artisanal and commercial boom. This type of building, although little documented in the available sources, illustrates the living environment of the craftsmen and merchants who contributed to Thiers' fame.
