Origin and history
The house of Edmond de Coussemaker, located in Bourbourg in the Hauts-de-France, is a bourgeois house built during the first half of the 19th century. The building, made of sand bricks, reflects the typical architecture of this period in the region. It was acquired by Charles-Edmond-Henri de Coussemaker, a notable figure for his work in collecting folk songs and Flemish traditions.
Charles-Edmond-Henri de Coussemaker lived in this house from 1848 to 1876. His commitment to preserving Flemish cultural heritage has marked local history. The building, partially protected (façades, roofs and park), was listed in the Historical Monuments by order of 15 June 2004. Today it belongs to the commune of Bourbourg.
The location of the house, at 13 rue du Gindal, is approximate, with an accuracy considered fair (5/10). The building illustrates the bourgeois way of life of the 19th century in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, a region marked by a strong Flemish cultural identity. Its architecture and history are an important testimony of this time.
