Origin and history

The building at 5 rue des Tiercelins in Nancy is an iconic 18th-century building, typical of the civil architecture of this period. Its facades and roofs, both on the street and on the courtyard, were inscribed under the title of Historical Monuments by decree of 20 September 1946, highlighting their heritage value and their representativeness for the heritage of Benin.

The location of this building, in the historic centre of Nancy, reflects the town's urban planning under the Old Regime. At that time, such buildings often housed bourgeois families or artisans, participating in the economic and social life of the city. Their preservation allows us today to understand the architectural and urban evolution of Lorraine in the Enlightenment century.

The available data, notably from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate that the exact address is 5 rue des Tiercelins, in the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle. The accuracy of its geographical location is estimated as fair (note of 5/10), and photographs licensed under Creative Commons document its current appearance.
