Timeline

Origin and history

The houses from n°1 to 22 Victor-Hugo square in Arras form a remarkable architectural complex built in the 18th century. Their style reflects the urban characteristics of this period, with facades and roofs typical of the civil architecture of the period. These buildings, although modified over the centuries, retain an aesthetic unit that bears witness to Arras' urban planning under the Ancien Régime.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 24 May 1948, these houses enjoy special protection on their facades and roofs. This inscription highlights their heritage value in the urban landscape of Arras, a city marked by a rich history, particularly linked to its commercial and strategic role in the Hauts-de-France. Their central location, near the Grand Place, reinforces their importance in the historical fabric of the city.

Available information indicates that their location is documented with average accuracy (level 5/10), and their official address corresponds to 14 place Victor-Hugo, although the set extends from #1 to 22. No information is provided on their current use (visit, rental, etc.) or on any historical owners or sponsors. Their preservation is now at stake in the development of the built heritage of Arrange.
