Origin and history

The house on 10 rue des Tonneliers is an emblematic building of the Strasbourg heritage, built during the 4th quarter of the 16th century. Located in the historic centre of Strasbourg, this building illustrates the civil architecture of the late Renaissance in Alsace. Its inscription as a historic monument in 1929 bears witness to its heritage value, particularly for its characteristic façade of that time.

Strasbourg, in the 16th century, was a prosperous city integrated into the Holy Roman Empire of Germany, marked by commercial and artisanal dynamism. Bourgeois houses, such as those on Rue des Tonneliers, reflected the social status of their owners, often merchants or wealthy artisans. These buildings served both as a dwelling, workshop and sometimes storage space, playing a central role in the economic and social life of the city.

The inscription of the façade in 1929 by ministerial decree underlines the importance attached to the preservation of external architectural elements. Although the available sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum) do not detail the interior features, this legal protection guarantees the preservation of a material testimony of Strasbourg urban history. The precise location, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, makes it a point of interest for the city's heritage routes.
