Heritage classified

Origin and history

The building located at the 11th of the Grande-Place in Arras is a historical monument whose facade was classified by ministerial decree on 15 September 1919. This ranking takes place in a post-World War I context, during which many buildings in the Hauts-de-France, a region heavily affected by the fighting, were protected to preserve a fragile architectural heritage. The precise location of the building, in the city centre of Arras, suggests its importance in the historical urban fabric of this town of Pas-de-Calais.

Arras, a city marked by its medieval history and its strategic role in the 19th and 20th centuries, was rebuilt and enhanced after the destruction of 1914-1918. The buildings of the Grande-Place, like this one, often illustrate traditional civil architecture, sometimes combining elements of Flemish or classical style. Their preservation responds to a desire to maintain the memory of the places while accompanying the economic and tourist revitalization of the city.

No additional information is available on the exact origins of the building, its historical owners, or its initial use.
