Origin and history

The house in Metz, in the Great East, is a historic monument dating from the 18th century. This building, whose exact address is 2 Place Sainte-Croix, is distinguished by its typical architecture of this period, with a facade and roof inscribed in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 5 April 1930. The location of this monument, although documented, is considered fair (note 5/10), reflecting minor uncertainty about its exact location in the geographic databases.

In the 18th century, Metz was a dynamic city integrated into the kingdom of France, marked by influential civil and military architecture. The bourgeois houses of that time, like this one, often reflected the social status of their owners and provided a framework for an expanding urban life. These buildings, by their style and conservation, today bear witness to the architectural and social evolution of Lorraine under the Ancien Régime.

Their preservation allows us to understand the lifestyles and aspirations of the local elites of the time.
