Origin and history
The house Roudil is a 4th quarter of the 18th century residence located in Chaliers, in the Cantal (region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes). Built by the Roudil family, it was first a presbytery before being rented. Its architecture reflects the local style of the era, with symmetrical blackmailed mouldings characteristic of the mid-18th century in Auvergne. The building, of square shape, is distinguished by a central protruding body and side pavilions, as well as a spiral staircase with straight steps whose stone departure is decorated with carved torsades.
The ground floor houses a high paneled dining room, while two doortops retain Empire-era polychrome wallpapers, depicting romantic scenes in Italian gardens. These decorative elements, combined with the stone and wood stairwell, motivated its inscription in historical monuments by order of 21 August 1992. The house, owned by the commune, illustrates the evolution of the rural bourgeois house in Auvergne, mixing religious and residential functions.
The location of the house, in the Bourg de Chaliers (code Insee 15034), is part of a territory marked by religious and agricultural history. Its peacock and pebbly sidewalk, also protected, underline the importance attached to exterior developments in local architecture. The sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum, Mérimée base) confirm its heritage role, both for its regional style and for its preserved interior decorations, witness to the artistic tastes of the Auvergne elites at the end of the Ancien Régime.
