Origin and history
The house located in 8 Place de la Chambre in Metz, also referred to in 10 Place Saint-Étienne, is an example of civil architecture from the 3rd quarter of the 18th century. This building, classified as Monument Historique, is distinguished by its facade on Place Saint-Étienne, protected since 1923 by ministerial decree. A second classification, in 1959, concerns the facades and roofs of the d ́angle pavilion, highlighting its heritage importance.
The building is associated with Jacques-François Blondel, a renowned architect, whose name appears among the architects associated with its construction. Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its exact address in the historic centre of Metz, Moselle (Department 57), in the heart of the Grand East region. The accuracy of its location is estimated as passable (note 5/10), with approximate GPS coordinates pointing to Chamber Square.
The protected elements specifically include the façade on Place Saint-Étienne (classified in 1923) and all the facades/roofs of the pavilion d'angle (classified in 1959). No information is available on its current access to the public, whether it be visits, room rental or accommodation.
