Origin and history

The village house located 347 rue Paul Garon in Hurigny is a real estate complex composed of a storey house body, served by a Maconese gallery supported by curved stone columns. A monumental walled gate gives access to a courtyard lined with outbuildings, including a well. The architecture reflects the local characteristics of the rural Burgundy building of the 18th and 19th centuries.

At the end of the 18th century, the property of the family of Montherot de Montferrand, including the castle of Hurigny, was confiscated as national property and sold. Although the 1793 report (15 year II salesman) lists these properties, their exact location remains uncertain, preventing the formal attribution of this house to their estate. In 1812, the estate was acquired by Benoît Ebrayard, and then changed hands only three times before his acquisition in 1926 by the painter Antoine Villard, marking his entry into an artistic era.

Classified as a historic monument in total (including garden, orchard and fence walls) by decree of 30 November 2018, this house illustrates the evolution of Burgundy's rural heritage, between seigneurial heritage, land revolution and re-appropriation by cultural figures. Its state of conservation and architectural elements make it a rare witness to the social and economic history of the region.
