History

The hotel belonged in the 16th century to the Colladon family, of Protestant faith. It consists of two bodies of lodging. The one on the street comprises, in the basement, a large vaulted hall in two bays separated by central columns. This hall dates from the 13th century. On the first floor, a hall opened at that same time onto the street by three pointed-arch openings with solid tympan and central colonnette. These arches came to rest on jambs formed by a cluster of colonnettes. Above, 15th-century windows open in the acute gable. The building on the courtyard underwent transformations in the 16th century. It opens by a Renaissance door with pilasters and carved frieze. Two openings with mullions possess mouldings that indicate the middle of the 16th century. The interior retains 18th-century decoration.
