Heritage classified

Origin and history

The building at 3 rue de la Taillerie in Arras is a monument whose façade was classified by ministerial decree on 18 March 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. The exact location, confirmed by GPS coordinates and the address recorded at the Merimée base, places this building in the city centre of Arras, in the department of Pas-de-Calais.

Arras, the emblematic city of Hauts-de-France, has had a rich urban history, marked by Flemish and French influences. The buildings of this period, often constructed of stone or brick, reflect local architectural styles and the evolution of construction techniques. Although this specific building is only described by its classified façade, it is part of a context where civilian buildings played a central role in the economic and social life of the city, sheltering artisans, traders or notables.

The protection of the façade in 1920 was part of a broader approach to preserving the French heritage after the First World War, during which many monuments of the Hauts-de-France suffered damage. The classification of this facade underscores its aesthetic or historical interest, even if the accessible archives do not detail the precise criteria for this protection. Today, the building remains a testimony of the rampage building, without its current use (housing, commerce, etc.) being explicitly mentioned in the sources.
