Origin and history
The Kappelkinger farm, located at 9 rue Saint-Jacques, is a typical example of 17th and 18th century rural architecture. Built in two distinct phases, it combines a ground floor in coated stoneware and a wooden floor, covered with flat and mechanical tiles. Its lintel dates back to 1737, while a later integrated cellar door dates back to 1607. These elements illustrate the construction techniques and re-uses of materials common at these times.
Classified as Historic Monument by order of 14 December 1992, this farm includes its dependencies in its protection. Its state of conservation and its architectural characteristics (wood gable, tile association) make it a remarkable testimony of the rural Lorrain habitat. The location, noted as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), corresponds to the historical address recorded in the Merimée base, confirming its anchoring in the village of Kappelkinger, Moselle.
The village of Kappelkinger, integrated into the Grand Est region (formerly Lorraine), reflects a rural history marked by agriculture and local crafts. Farms such as this were used as a place for life, for storing crops and for economic activities for peasant families. Their structure of local materials (wood, stone, tiles) met the climatic needs and available resources, while integrating into an architectural landscape consistent with the surrounding Lorraine and Alsatian traditions.
