Origin and history

The house at 1 rue des Potiers in Sarre-Union is a historic monument dating from the second half of the seventeenth century. This building, typical of the Alsatian civil architecture of the period, is distinguished by its street door and staircase, protected by an inscription as historical monuments since 1934.

Sarre-Union, located in the department of Bas-Rhin in the Grand Est region, was at this time a city marked by dynamic artisanal and commercial activity. The houses of that time often reflected the social status of their owners, with neat architectural elements such as open doors or stone stairs, symbols of prosperity.

The inscription of this house in 1934 is a testament to its heritage interest, particularly for its original elements preserved. The protection specifically concerns the street door and the staircase that precedes it, highlighting their historical and aesthetic value. These architectural details offer an overview of construction techniques and decorative styles in vogue in 17th century Alsace.
