Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 65 rue du Clocher Saint-Pierre in Douai is a monument dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries. This building, typical of medieval civil architecture, was partially preserved thanks to its inscription as the Historical Monuments in 1964. Protected elements specifically include its facades and roofs, reflecting the heritage importance of its original structure.

The building is located in the historic centre of Douai, a town in the northern department of Hauts-de-France. Although available sources do not specify its initial use, this type of medieval house was often linked to artisanal, commercial or residential activities, playing a key role in the urban life of the time. The Rue du Clocher Saint-Pierre, where it is located, evokes by its name a probable link with the religious or administrative history of the city.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 28 December 1964, this house illustrates Douai's civil architectural heritage. Current data do not mention its accessibility to the public or specific services such as visits or accommodation. Its location, specified as "a priori satisfactory" (level 7/10), allows, however, to situate it with relative accuracy in the contemporary urban fabric.
