Origin and history

The building in Phalsbourg, Moselle department, is a monument listed in the Historical Monuments Inventory. Its protection specifically concerns facades and roofs, officially recognized by a decree dated 28 March 1936. The building is located in 54 Place d'Armes, a central location in this city of the Great East, formerly integrated with the Lorraine region.

The buildings of this type, often built in strongholds such as Phalsbourg, reflect the civil architecture of the transition periods between the 19th and 20th centuries. In this border region marked by mixed cultural influences (French and German), downtown buildings served both as housing, shops and symbols of urban stability. Their preservation illustrates the importance attached to the heritage built in territories with a turbulent past, especially after the conflicts of the early twentieth century.
