Maison, rue des Casernes, Historic house in La Chaise-Dieu, France
The stone house on Casernes Street features defense elements from the 16th century, including a watchtower and a fortified residence with battlements.
The building belonged to the Ravel family in the 17th century, when François Ravel, a royal notary, lived there before his daughter married lawyer Pierre Faure.
The provincial art style of Auvergne decorates the house interior, showing influences from Parisian designs of the 18th century through ornamental elements.
The house facades and roofs received heritage protection status in June 1977, requiring special permits for any modifications to preserve its historical features.
Cardinal de Rohan, known for his playing cards collection, stayed at this residence during his exile in 1786, adding a layer to its historical importance.
