Origin and history

The building located in Arras, in the department of Pas-de-Calais, is a historical monument whose protection relates specifically to the facade. Ranked by ministerial decree on January 12, 1920, it is distinguished by its emblematic location on the Grande-Place, the historic heart of the city. The available coordinates suggest an approximate location at 15 Rue du Cardinal, although the official address recorded in the Merimée base is 10 Grande-Place.

Arras, a city with a rich urban history, experienced periods of reconstruction and valorisation of its heritage, especially after the destruction of the two world wars. The buildings of the Grande-Place, often built between the 17th and 18th centuries, reflect the typical architecture of the Flemish squares, with their brick and stone facades. Although the precise historical details of this building are not explicitly documented in available sources, its early ranking (1920) underscores its heritage importance in a post-First World War context, where the preservation of city centres became a national priority.

The location of the building, noted with an accuracy deemed "passible" (note 5/10), indicates that its exact location may require further verification. No information is provided on its accessibility to the public, its current purpose (housing, business, institution) or possible protected interior developments. The sources are limited to the administrative data of the Merimée database and the Monumentum platform, without reference to archives or detailed architectural studies.
