Façade (Case DI 56, 66, 66p, 67p): Order of 12 January 1920
Origin and history
The building at the 29th of the Grande-Place in Arras is a historic monument whose façade was classified by ministerial decree on 12 January 1920. This classification relates specifically to the architectural elements of the cadastral plots DI 56, 66, 66p and 67p, demonstrating their recognized heritage value from the early twentieth century. The building now belongs to a private company, which limits its public access to potential uses such as room rental or guest rooms, without specifying its current opening to visitors.
Arras, emblematic city of Pas-de-Calais in the Hauts-de-France, has had an urban history marked by its commercial and strategic role since the Middle Ages. The buildings of the Grande-Place, like this one, are part of a dense architectural fabric, reflecting the stylistic and social evolutions of the region. Although the details of the initial construction of this building are lacking, its early ranking suggests a symbolic or aesthetic importance in the urban landscape of Arrear, typical of the city centres rebuilt or preserved after the conflicts of the twentieth century.
