Origin and history

This house, located at 35 rue du Commerce in Lons-le-Saunier, dates from the 4th quarter of the 17th and 18th centuries. It is representative of the civil architecture of this period in the region, although its detailed history is not specified in the available sources. Its façade was protected by a registration order for the Historic Monuments on December 2, 1926, highlighting its heritage interest.

Lons-le-Saunier, capital of the Jura department, was at that time a developing city, marked by artisanal and commercial activities. The bourgeois houses, like this one, often reflected the prosperity of the owners, linked to trade or local administration. This type of building, with its neat facades, bears witness to the urban and architectural evolution of the Franche-Comté under the Old Regime and at the beginning of the modern era.
