Origin and history

The house Raynaud-Gaillard is an emblematic dwelling located in the medieval village of Peruges, in the department of Ain. Dating from the 15th century, it illustrates the civil architecture of this period, marked by stone constructions and structures adapted to the urban life of the time. Its classification as historic monuments in 1941 reflects its heritage importance and the desire to preserve this architectural heritage.

The village of Peruges, typical of the medieval villages of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, was then a place of exchange and craft. Houses such as that of the Raynaud-Gaillard served both as a dwelling and sometimes as a place of commerce or craft, reflecting a society organized around local corporations and markets. These buildings, often grouped around narrow squares or streets, played a central role in the community and economic life of the city.

According to available sources, Raynaud-Gaillard House is located at the intersection of several streets of the village, including Rue du For and Rue de la Halle-au-For. These denominations recall the commercial and craft activities that animated Peruges in the Middle Ages. The classification of the building in 1941 protected its structure and architectural elements, thus contributing to the conservation of the region's built heritage.

Data from the Merimée database and sources such as Monumentum confirm that this house is a representative example of the 15th century urban habitat in this part of France. Its precise address, mentioned as being both rue du For, rue de la Brune and rue de la Halle-au-For, highlights its integration into the dense and organized urban fabric of Peruges. No additional information is available about its historical occupants or specific events that took place there.
