Origin and history

The building at 31 rue des Frères in Strasbourg is a 16th-century civil building. It is distinguished by its carved wooden window, a remarkable architectural element that motivated its inscription as historic monuments in 1931. This building illustrates the Alsatian Renaissance heritage, a period marked by economic and cultural growth in the region.

The official protection of this building, which took place on 29 April 1931, specifically concerns its carved window. This type of decoration reflects the craftsmanship of excellence developed in Strasbourg at that time, where carpentry and wood carving played an important role in the beautification of facades. The building is part of the dense urban fabric of the historic centre, typical of Alsatian cities.

The classification of this monument is part of a broader approach to preserving the Strasbourg heritage, as evidenced by the list of historical monuments of the city. The Bas-Rhin, the department to which Strasbourg belongs, has many protected buildings from the same period, stressing the importance of this time for the regional heritage.
