Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 53bis rue Sérurier in Laon (Aisne) is an example of civil architecture dating from the 4th quarter of the 15th century. This building, although partially documented, is distinguished by its entrance to the street giving access to a courtyard, an element protected by a classification order under the Historical Monuments dated 6 March 1928. No additional information specifies its original use or possible owners, but its style reflects the constructive techniques in vogue in the cities of northern France at the end of the Middle Ages.

The location of this monument, in the historic centre of Laon, suggests an urban context marked by trade and crafts at that time. The courtyard houses, typical of medieval villages, often served as housing for merchants or artisans, while sheltering professional activities on the ground floor. The protection of the entrance door underscores its heritage interest, probably linked to architectural details (sculptures, carpentry) characteristic of the period. However, no source mentions specific historical events associated with this site.

Available data are mainly from the Merimée database and the Monumentum site, which list the monument under the code Insee 02408 (common Laon, department of Aisne). The accuracy of its location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), and no practical information (visit, opening) is provided.
