Old bridge located on the river la Petite Creuse : inscription by order of 15 June 1926

Origin and history

The old bridge of Boussac is a historical monument built in the 15th century, located in the commune of Boussac, New Aquitaine. This granite bridge, characterized by a unique arch in broken tracks, crosses the Petite Creuse River. It is on the old road between Guéret and Boussac, highlighting its historic role in local and regional exchanges.

The bridge was listed as a Historic Monument by order of June 15, 1926, recognizing its heritage value. Owned by the Creuse department, it bears witness to medieval construction techniques and the importance of road infrastructure in the territorial organization of the time. Today, there remains an emblematic vestige of the civil architecture of Limousin.

The location of the bridge, although documented (16 Georges Lannet Street, Boussac), is considered to be of poor accuracy (note of 5/10 depending on the sources). Its current status and accessibility (open/closed to the visit) are not specified in the available data, but its listing under the Historical Monuments guarantees its protection and preservation.
