Maison du 15e siècle dite maison des Consuls
Maison du 15e siècle dite maison des Consuls, Medieval historical monument in Market Square of Mirepoix, France.
The exposed beams of this fifteenth-century residence display detailed sculptures of human heads and animals in relief at their ends.
The building received official protection in two phases: classification of the ground floor in 1915, followed by registration of facades and roofs in 1993.
This house stands as a principal example of medieval consular architecture in the Occitanie region, with its period-specific ornamental features.
The building, owned by a private company, is located at 4 Place Maréchal Leclerc and currently houses a four-star hotel with restaurant.
Two rows of corbels supporting the joists display different carved figures, creating a gallery of characters across the facade.

The region around Carcassonne features an area marked by medieval and Cathar history, with castles, abbeys, and old villages. The Cité of Carcassonne displays its city walls restored in the 19th century by Viollet-le-Duc, while the Canal du Midi has traversed the region for 240 kilometers since the 17th century. The castles of Quéribus and Peyrepertuse overlook the landscape from their rocky spurs at over 700 meters above sea level, serving as the last strongholds of the Cathar resistance in the 13th century. Villages like Minerve and Lagrasse showcase medieval architecture, with narrow streets, ancient bridges, and Benedictine abbeys. The region also includes the four Lastours castles aligned along a ridge, the Saint-Maurice Cathedral in Mirepoix with its 22-meter-wide Gothic nave, and natural sites like Lake Cavayère. These monuments and landscapes form a representative ensemble of the south of France’s historical and natural heritage, accessible from Carcassonne.
