Heritage classified

Origin and history

The building located Place des Héros in Arras is a classified monument whose protection specifically concerns the facade. This classification, carried out by decree of 1 September 1919, is part of an effort to preserve the architectural heritage after the First World War. The building is located in a central area of the city, marked by a dense urban history and successive reconstructions.

Arras, the city of Pas-de-Calais in the Hauts-de-France region, suffered major destruction during the conflicts of the 20th century. The buildings of this period, often rebuilt or restored, reflect architectural styles in vogue at the time, as well as the challenges of memory and local identity. This type of building, by its classified facade, illustrates the importance attached to the preservation of the visual elements characteristic of the urban heritage, even in the absence of detailed information on its specific history or occupants.
