Maison d'Armagnac, Renaissance monument in Rodez, France
Maison d'Armagnac is a Renaissance building in Rodez with a shop on the ground floor and living spaces above. The facade displays Gothic ornaments mixed with Renaissance carved medallions that decorate its walls.
The building was constructed between 1525 and 1531 for wealthy merchant Hugues Daulhou. It was built on the site where the castle of the Armagnac counts once stood.
The building's exterior displays an architectural transition from Gothic to Renaissance styles through its decorative elements and structural composition.
The building can be viewed from the street to see its facade up close. To learn more about its history and details, visit the Rodez Tourism Office for additional information.
The carved medallions on the facade were mistakenly believed to represent the Armagnac family tree, which led to the house getting its current name. This misunderstanding became part of how the building is known in the city.
