Origin and history

The house located at 14 rue de la Coutelerie in Thiers is a medieval building whose facade was classified as Historic Monument by order of 9 August 1922. This building illustrates the typical civil architecture of the medieval period in a city renowned for its cutlery crafts for centuries. The exact location remains subject to caution, with a cartographic accuracy deemed mediocre (note 5/10), although two addresses are mentioned: one official in the Merimée base, the other from the GPS coordinates.

Thiers, in Auvergne (now Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region), was in the Middle Ages a dynamic center linked to metallurgy and the manufacture of white weapons. The houses of that time often served as workshops-houses for artisans, reflecting a social organization where professional and domestic life were closely intertwined. This type of monument, although little documented in available sources, embodies the link between built heritage and local economic activities.
