Maison rouge, Medieval house in central Chinon, France
The Maison Rouge exhibits timber framing with brick infill on its facade, standing at the corner of the Grand Carroi square at 38 rue Voltaire.
Built in the 14th century during medieval times, the building received official recognition as a historical monument in 1926, preserving its architectural heritage.
The ground floor originally contained three separate shops, reflecting the commercial nature of medieval urban life in the Loire Valley region.
The house maintains its position on the main street that crosses Chinon from west to east, connecting visitors to numerous medieval buildings.
The structure features geometric patterns in its brick walls and a protective roof overhang called capucine, resembling the shape of monk hoods.
