Maison du Chamarier
Neighborhood: Old Lyons
Nearest Train: métro: Vieux Lyon
Map | add to Travel Bag (NEW)
A chamarier was a canon responsible for security within the walls of a cathedral complex. The house which can still be seen rue Saint Jean was built between the late 15th and early 16th centuries against the North wall since one of the chamarier's" functions was to check who was entering and leaving via the different gates. The façade, restored in the 19th century, is an example of secular architecture at the end of the Middle Ages (windows separated by pinnacles although only one is still mullioned). There is an interesting spiral staircase in a small tower inside the inner courtyard. This eclectic house is decorated with scrolls and a shellshapes which mark the transition from late Gothic to Renaissance architecture.
