Origin and history

The house located at 36 quai Vauban in Besançon is a Historic Monument whose protected elements include facade, roof, as well as pavement and dock. These protections were established by an order dated 16 September 1933. This building is closely linked to the defensive history of the city, being associated with the Citadelle and the urban enclosure of Besançon, themselves classified.

In 2019, a new decree extended the protection to buried remains of the urban enclosure, including parts of ramparts, bastioned towers (such as those of Rivotte, Brégille and Saint-Pierre), as well as guard corps of the 18th and 19th centuries. These remains, spread over several plots, bear witness to the evolution of Besançon fortifications throughout the centuries. The precise location of these elements is detailed in plans annexed to the protection orders.

The house and its surroundings, including the Vauban wharf, are part of an urban context marked by the military and architectural history of the city. The accuracy of the location of these remains is assessed as fair (note of 5/10), reflecting the challenges associated with mapping underground or partially disappeared elements. Practical information on access or visit is not specified in available sources.
