Origin and history

The building located at 16 Place Bellecour in Lyon is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1941. Its protection specifically concerns the facade and roof, architectural elements representative of Lyon's urban heritage. The decree of inscription, dated March 7, 1941, underscores its historical and aesthetic interest in the landscape of the peninsula.

The location of this building, in the heart of Lyon on Place Bellecour, makes it a witness to the architectural and social evolution of the city. Although the sources do not specify its date of construction, its style and inscription suggest a prior or contemporary period in the early decades of the twentieth century. Place Bellecour, Lyon's central area, has always been a strategic place for trade, exchanges and the representation of power.

Today, the building belongs to a private company and its current use (residential, office, commercial) is not detailed in available sources. Its state of conservation and accessibility to the public are also not documented, although its protection makes it a significant heritage element. The accuracy of its location is assessed as fair (note 5/10), with an approximate address also referenced in 15 Place Bellecour.
