Modern Medieval

This house in Sainte Maure de Touraine is interesting. At first glance it appears to be a well maintained medieval timber framed house. But when you look closely it is evident that there are some modern touches masquerading as medieval. Some details are better than others. The carvings on the main beam across the facade are particularly good and well integrated into the genuinely old wood of the beam. I would say the house was renovated about 20 years ago.
