The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
On a attaché - sans preuve - le souvenir de Tristan l'Hermite, serviteur de Louis XI, à cette maison. La devise inscrite sur l'une des façades, "Prie Dieu pur", a fait attribuer la construction de l'édifice à Pierre du Puy, propriétaire en 1495. La maison en brique et pierre, présentant un pignon à redents sur rue, s'articule autour d'une cour à galerie et tourelle d'escalier en vis à voûtement hélicoïdal.

History
The memory of Tristan l'Hermite, servant of Louis XI, has been attached – without proof – to this house. The motto inscribed on one of the facades, "Pray God pure", led to the attribution of the construction of the building to Pierre du Puy, owner in 1495. The house in brick and stone, presenting a stepped gable on the street, is articulated around a courtyard with gallery and helical vaulted spiral staircase turret.
