Origin and history

The building located Place des Héros in Arras is a historical monument whose protection is specifically on the facade. Ranked by ministerial decree on 15 April 1920, it illustrates the attention paid to the architectural heritage after the First World War, during which many buildings were damaged or destroyed in the area. Its location in the heart of the city, on an emblematic square, suggests a central role in the urban landscape.

Arras, a city marked by its medieval history and strategic occupation, experienced major reconstructions in the twentieth century. The buildings of this time, often preserved for their heritage value, reflect architectural styles and typical materials of the Hauts-de-France. Their protection responds to a desire to preserve the memory of the places, while integrating these buildings into contemporary life.

The classified façade of this building is a representative example.
