Heritage classified

Origin and history

The building in Arras, in the department of Pas-de-Calais, is a monument whose facade was classified by ministerial decree in 1920. This classification makes it a protected element of the French architectural heritage, although details of its history or construction are not specified in the available sources. Its exact address, 17 Place des Héros, makes it a landmark in the city centre of Arras, a town marked by its rich historical and urban past.

In the Hauts-de-France region, and particularly in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, the buildings of that time often reflect the evolution of architectural styles and urban uses between the 19th and 20th centuries. Arras, a city rebuilt after the destruction of the First World War, preserves many buildings bearing witness to this pivotal period. The classified facades, like that of this building, illustrate the attention paid to the preservation of the remarkable elements of the building, even when their specific history remains little documented.
