Origin and history

The building at the 21st of the Grande-Place in Arras is a historic monument whose façade was classified by ministerial decree on 10 February 1921. This classification reflects its heritage significance, although architectural details or its precise history are not documented in available sources. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée base, places the building in the heart of the city, in an area marked by a rich urban past.

Arras, capital of Pas-de-Calais, has had a turbulent history, especially during the two world wars, which may have affected its building. The buildings of the Great Place, often built between the Middle Ages and the 19th century, served both as places of residence, commerce and social representation. Their preservation, like that of this building, illustrates the desire to preserve the memory of past epochs, despite the documentary gaps in their original use or their owners.
