Origin and history

The building at 47 Grande-Place in Arras is a historic monument whose façade was classified by ministerial decree on 18 November 1919. This protection comes in a post-First World War context, during which many buildings in the Hauts-de-France, damaged by the fighting, were subjected to preservation or restoration measures. The precise location of the building, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, corresponds to the official address of the city of Arras, in the department of Pas-de-Calais.

Arras, capital of Pas-de-Calais, has always held a strategic and commercial place in Nord-Pas-de-Calais (now Hauts-de-France). The buildings of the Great Place, often built between the Middle Ages and the modern era, reflect the economic and social importance of the city. Although the architectural details or the specific history of this building are not specified in the available sources, its classification in 1919 underscores its heritage value in an urban centre marked by centuries of history and reconstruction.

Monuments of this type generally served as places of residence, commerce or administration, playing a central role in the daily life of the Arrageois.
