Maison de la Taverne stands in Caussade (Tarn-et-Garonne), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

This 13th-century house in Caussade represents a significant architectural record of medieval domestic life in the southwest. Viollet-le-Duc selected it as a typical example of its period. The brick structure contains three storeys, each with a single large room and monumental fireplace, and retains original timber floors whose beams bear painted decoration from the 16th century.

What to know

The main building fronting the street has been classified as a historical monument since 1925.
The two shops originally occupying the ground floor and the 16th or 17th-century Italian-style staircases reflect successive modifications to the structure.
The façade displays characteristic architectural details: 15th-century mullioned windows on the first storey, Genoese tile corbelling, and stone bands contrasting with the brickwork.
