    How light became a luxury

    The left four-part window above us has been preserved in its original form. The stone window cross was necessary to keep the large wall opening stable. However, from 1798 onwards the so-called window tax was introduced in France: a tax had to be paid for each window in the house. The four parts counted as separate windows. As a result, windows were completely or partially bricked up, like the one on the right above the archway. This is how light became a luxury.
