Origin and history

The 17th century house of Crécy-sur-Serre is an emblematic civil building of the first half of the 17th century, located in the department of Aisne, in the Hauts-de-France region. Built during the 2nd quarter of the 17th century, it is distinguished by its characteristic architecture of this period, with facades overlooking the Allied Square and the street of Admiral-Saint-Hilaire. Its partial inscription as Monument Historique by decree of 13 January 1930, followed by a classification of facades and roofs on 5 June 1931, bears witness to its recognized heritage value.

The building, owned by the commune of Crécy-sur-Serre, is located at the historic address of the rue de l'Amiral-Saint-Hilaire, formerly known as Place du Beffroi or rue de l'Epinette. Available sources, including Monumentum, indicate a satisfactory location (note of 7/10), with GPS coordinates to accurately locate the building. Although its current use (visit, rental, guest rooms) is not specified, its status as a Historic Monument makes it a key element of local heritage.

The legal protections applied to this house reflect a desire to preserve its architectural integrity. The 1930 inscription covers the whole building, with the exception of the parts already classified, while the 1931 classification specifically concerns the facades on the Allied Square and the street of Admiral-Saint-Hilaire, as well as the roofs. These measures underline the historical and aesthetic importance of the building, typical of the bourgeois or notable buildings of Picardia in the seventeenth century.
