Origin and history

The house at 3 rue du Colonel-Denfert in Poitiers is a historical monument whose protection concerns specifically a bas-relief embedded in its facade. This architectural detail was officially registered by ministerial decree on 12 January 1931, highlighting its heritage interest. The building is located in the department of Vienna, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, and its exact address is documented in the Merimée base, although GPS coordinates suggest an approximate location near the rue de l'Ancienne Comedie.

Poitiers, a city marked by a rich medieval and reborn past, is home to many architectural testimonies from different periods. This house, although little documented as a whole, illustrates the attention paid to the decorative elements of the urban facades at the beginning of the 20th century. His bas-relief, without detailed description available in the sources, represents an example of the carved ornaments that then embellished bourgeois houses or public buildings.

The accuracy of its location remains limited (level 5/10), perhaps reflecting uncertainties in archives or subsequent urban changes.
