Birthplace of Joan of Arc, Birth house museum in Domrémy-la-Pucelle, France.

The birthplace of Joan of Arc is a 15th-century house in Domrémy-la-Pucelle, built against the hillside beside the Saint-Rémy church. Its pale plastered facade has a steeply pitched roof edged in red canal tiles, a square window divided by a stone cross, and a carved stone doorway with a pointed arch and a small shield above it. A niche above the door holds a pale statue of Joan. Inside, four ground-floor rooms and an attic are shown as a museum of peasant life.

The house belonged to Joan's family and became a pilgrimage destination after her death as people sought out the birthplace of the renowned military figure. It received official monument status in 1840 after being in private hands for generations.

The house reflects Joan's upbringing as a farmer's daughter through its simple rooms and furnishings that show rural life in the Lorraine region. Visitors can sense how daily existence on this farm shaped the person who would later lead armies.

The site is walkable and has areas accessible for different mobility levels, though some parts of the old house have uneven floors. It is best to check opening hours before visiting, as they change by season and the building may have reduced hours during certain months.

The wooden gable carries three coats of arms carved in 1481: France, the du Lys arms Joan received with her noble name, and the three ploughs of the Thiesselin family, her godmother's kin. The motto "Vive le roi Louis!" was joined at restoration by "Vive labeur!".
