Origin and history

The house at 62 rue des Vignerons in Bergheim, in the Haut-Rhin, is a building dating from the 3rd quarter of the 16th century. It is distinguished by its gable on street and a angle chain with a rampage on the ground floor. Its windows on the 1st floor, rectangular with prominent supports, contrast with those of the gable, with ground chambranles. A carriageway door in the middle of the hanger, dated 1833, and a six-line window, raised in 1960, testify to subsequent changes.

The muzzle bay, a protected element since 2000, comes from the Tempelhof, an outdoor building in Bergheim. It includes a torso column and coat of arms dated 1558, linked to a commandory. Inside, a sculpted column with an angelel face supports the lintel, while netting adorns the base of the bundles. These elements, moved in the 1960s, illustrate architectural evolution and heritage reuse.

The designation of historic monuments in 2000 refers specifically to the bay and its column, highlighting its historical and artistic value. The house, although transformed in the 19th century (windows, cochère door), preserves traces of its Renaissance origin. Its history also reflects the practices of safeguarding the Alsatian heritage, such as the transfer of the Tempelhof Bay.

The location of Bergheim, in Alsace (Great East), and its typical architecture make it a representative example of the wine houses of the region. The monument is part of a wine-growing and medieval context, where urban homes blended residential and artisanal functions. The presence of coats of arms and engraved dates evokes links with local institutions, such as the command offices.
