Origin and history

Rouby House is a building located in the medieval village of Peruges, in the department of Ain. This monument, although lacking precise architectural details in the available sources, is representative of the traditional constructions of this town ranked among the most beautiful villages in France. Its classification as historical monuments in 1941 underscores its heritage importance, without the source texts specifying the exact criteria for this protection.

Peruges, a fortified village dating back to the Middle Ages, has preserved a remarkable urban fabric, characterized by its paved alleys and stone houses. The Rouby House is part of this, although the accessible archives do not detail its original use or its possible transformations. In modern times, this type of building was generally used as a home for artisans or merchants, reflecting local economic life centred on trade and crafts.

The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, rich in built heritage, illustrates the diversity of lifestyles between cities and countryside in the 19th and 20th centuries.
