The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette maison a été construite autour des années 1488-1489, sans doute pour Ursin de Sauzay, échevin de Bourges en 1484, puis administrateur de l'Hôtel-Dieu de 1492 à 1497, qui mourut avant 1503. Une cheminée à l'étage porte les armoiries de cette famille.

This house was built around the years 1488-1489, probably for Ursin de Sauzay, alderman of Bourges in 1484, then administrator of the Hôtel-Dieu from 1492 to 1497, who died before 1503. A fireplace on the upper storey bears the arms of this family.
