Origin and history

The house at 2 rue de l'Abreuvoir in Strasbourg is a historical monument built in the 18th century. This building, typical of the civil architecture of that time, was inscribed as historical monuments by order of 9 May 1978. Its protection specifically concerns the facade and roof on street, remarkable elements of its architectural heritage.

Strasbourg, an Alsatian city with a rich and complex history, experienced an 18th century period of urban and architectural development. The bourgeois houses of this time often reflect the influence of Baroque and classical styles, while adapting to local specificities. This type of building, usually intended for housing or craft activities, played a central role in the daily life of the inhabitants, illustrating the economic and cultural dynamism of the city.

The protection of these buildings allows today to preserve the memory of this period and to enhance the Strasbourg heritage.
