Origin and history

The building at 29 rue des Frères and 2 rue du Faisan in Strasbourg is an emblematic building from the 16th and 18th centuries. Its facades on street and courtyard, its roof and its 18th century staircase were inscribed as historical monuments by order of 29 April 1931. This classification reflects its architectural and heritage importance in the Strasbourg landscape.

The precise location of this building, at the corner of two streets in the city centre, reflects the dense and historic urbanisation of Strasbourg. The protection of its architectural elements, including the 18th century stairway, underscores the desire to preserve tangible traces of stylistic evolutions between the Renaissance and modern times. The building is thus part of the continuity of Alsatian civil constructions.

The Bas-Rhin, and more broadly the Grand Est region, has many similar monuments, often linked to the commercial and craft history of Strasbourg. These buildings, sometimes transformed into homes or professional spaces, illustrate the economic and cultural vitality of the city throughout the centuries. Their preservation makes it possible to understand the lifestyles and construction techniques of the past.
