Origin and history
The house opposite the old thermal baths, located in Bourbon-l'Archambault (Allier, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), is an emblematic example of 16th century civil architecture. It is particularly distinguished by its carpentry door, composed of two vantaux with six panels each, decorated with carved roses. The impost, in low hanger, is open with garland and fruit motifs, illustrating the craftsmanship of the time.
The house was partially listed as historical monuments by an order of 29 March 1929. Only the door, including its vants and its imposte, enjoys this protection, emphasizing its exceptional heritage interest. This classification reflects the artistic and historical value of this architectural element, a witness to the decorative techniques of the Renaissance in Bourbonnais.
Located on 3 rue de la Monnaie, this house is part of the urban landscape of Bourbon-l'Archambault, a commune marked by its thermal past and medieval heritage. Its location, facing the old thermal baths, recalls the importance of hot springs in the development of the city, while offering a contrast between domestic architecture and historical seaside infrastructures.
