Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 33 rue d'Aube in Bar-sur-Aube is a civil building dating from the 4th quarter of the 16th century, typical of late Renaissance architecture. Its inscription as Monument Historique by decree of 11 September 1963 specifically concerns the facade, including two small housings at the ends, as well as the corresponding roof slope. These architectural elements, such as dressing rooms, reflect the stylistic influences of the period, mixing functionality and decoration.

Bar-sur-Aube, located in the Aube department in the Grand Est region (formerly Champagne-Ardenne), was at that time a city marked by its commercial and artisanal role. Bourgeois or merchant houses, such as the one on Rue d'Aube, often illustrated local prosperity, with wrought facades serving both as housing and as a social showcase. The listing of Historic Monuments underscores the heritage value of this preserved example, although the available archives do not specify its sponsor or its exact original use.
