Description
Set on Place Sainte-Croix, in the welcoming shadow of Saint-Maurice Cathedral, the Maison d'Adam stands as an exceptional testament to medieval civil architecture. Since 1491, its six levels of sculpted timber framing have told an open-air story: angels, devils, hybrid creatures and secular scenes intertwine in a wealth of details waiting to be rediscovered with every visit.
Listed as a Historic Monument since 1922 and carefully restored in 2025, it can be freely admired from the street — an invitation to look up and take the time to decipher its carvings. Inside, the Maison des Artisans d'Angers carries on the spirit of the place by celebrating today's finest craft trades.
To catch every detail of its façade and better understand its place within Angers' historic fabric, join a guided tour — a journey through five centuries of history, just a short walk from the Château d'Angers.
