Origin and history

The house at 18 Victor-Hugo Square in Arras is a 18th-century civil building. It was classified as a Historic Monument, with specific protection for its facade and roof by order of 24 May 1948. This ranking shows its architectural and heritage interest in the urban context of Arras, a city marked by its medieval history and development in the following centuries.

The location of this monument, in the department of Pas-de-Calais (Hauts-de-France), reflects the importance of the bourgeois constructions of that time in the region. The houses of this period were often designed to reflect the social status of their owners, while integrating into the existing urban fabric. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the architectural and social evolution of the city.

Available data indicate that the accuracy of the location is considered fair (note 5/10), and that the corresponding address is confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates. No additional information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any historic owners or sponsors.
