Origin and history

The Renaissance House of Lubersac, located Place de l'Horloge, dates from the first quarter of the 16th century. This building, originally linked to the parish of Saint-Hilaire Church, played a central role in local life. Its architecture reflects the characteristics of the Renaissance, with a façade modified in 1880 to accommodate a clock from the church bell tower.

Between 1847 and 1955, the house housed the town hall and the Justice of Peace, testifying to its administrative importance. The structure, consisting of four punched farms, appears to date back to the 19th century, while the stairway tower in screws, classified, and facades have been protected since 2001 and 2003. The cellar and floors of the plot are also listed as historical monuments.

The clock, added in 1880, is a prominent feature of the facade. It was installed in a pediment window, thus changing the original appearance of the roof. This monument, owned by the municipality, illustrates the evolution of the uses of a historic building, from a religious role to civil and judicial functions.
