Origin and history

The former chanoinesse house of the priory of Salles-Arbuissonnas-en-Beaujolais is a building classified as a Historical Monument. Located at 75 avenue Victoire-de-Ruffey, it now houses the town hall. The building, with its parcel, was fully registered by ministerial decree on September 24, 2019, highlighting its heritage importance.

This monument illustrates architecture linked to local religious communities, typical of Beaujolais. The canonesses, members of secular chapters, played a spiritual and social role in the villages. Their house, often integrated into a priory, served as a place for living and managing ecclesiastical property. Re-use in the town hall reflects a modern adaptation of the religious heritage.

The precise location, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10), places the building in the Rhône department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Property of the municipality, its access and current uses (visits, events) are not detailed in the available sources. The data are mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum.
