Origin and history

The Maison de l'Arquebuse is a monument located in Auxerre, in the department of Yonne (89), in the region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Built during the second quarter of the 18th century, it represents an example of civil architecture of that time. Its name evokes a potential firearms function, although the source text does not specify its original use.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 17 June 1947, the protection specifically concerns its facades and roofs. This official recognition underscores its heritage importance. The exact address, 1 Place de l'Arquebuse, is documented in the Merimée base, confirming its anchoring in the city centre of Auxerre. GPS location and administrative data (Insee code 89024) attest to its integration into the historical urban fabric.

Available information from sources such as Monumentum remains limited on architectural details or historical occupants. The status of the geographic data is considered "passable" (note 5/10), which may reflect minor uncertainties about its precise location. No mention is made of an opening to the public, of a tourist vocation or of a contemporary reuse (guest rooms, reception rooms).
