Origin and history

This house, located at 40 rue du Commerce in Lons-le-Saunier, dates from the last quarter of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It is representative of the civil architecture of this period in the region, with a facade protected by a registration order in 1926.

The building illustrates the city's urban heritage, marked by its economic and social development in the 17th and 18th centuries. At that time, Lons-le-Saunier, then in Franche-Comté, was a dynamic administrative and commercial centre, where bourgeois houses reflected local prosperity.

The protection of the façade in 1926 underscores its architectural and historical interest. This type of monument testifies to the construction techniques and decorative styles in the region, while providing an overview of the daily life of the local elites of the Old Regime.
