Origin and history

The house at 37 rue du Commerce in Lons-le-Saunier is a civil building dating from the 4th quarter of the 17th and 18th centuries. It was classified as a Historical Monument, with specific protection for its façade, inscribed by ministerial decree on 2 December 1926. This type of building reflects the bourgeois domestic architecture of the period, typical of thermal cities such as Lons-le-Saunier.

Lons-le-Saunier, the capital of Jura, was a developing city in the 18th century, thanks to its saline and thermal springs. The bourgeois houses of this period often illustrated local prosperity, linked to trade and thermal activities. These buildings served as both a residence and a symbol of social status for their owners.

The precise location of this house, at 37 rue du Commerce, is documented in the Mérimée base, although geographical accuracy is considered poor (level 5/10). No additional information is available regarding its current use or potential historical owners.
