The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le rôle et la puissance des consuls à Luzech furent grands durant tout le Moyen-Age. La coutume du château de Luzech est que la commune et le Prud'hommes doivent avoir six conseils qui doivent conseiller le château et garder les franchises. Les consuls prennent serment du peuple. Ils ont maison commune, sceau communal. La maison possède un rez-de-chaussée percé d'un grand arc ogival qui occupe toute la façade. Cette porte donnait accès à une salle servant de boutique, appelée obrade au Moyen-Age. Le premier étage est construit en brique.

History
The role and power of the consuls at Luzech were great throughout the Middle Ages. The custom of the castle of Luzech is that the commune and the Prud'hommes must have six councils who must advise the castle and guard the franchises. The consuls take oath of the people. They have a common house, communal seal. The house has a ground floor pierced by a large pointed arch occupying the entire façade. This door gave access to a room serving as a shop, called obrade in the Middle Ages. The first floor is built in brick.
