Origin and history

The house at 5 rue Henri-Dupuis in Saint-Omer is a 17th-century building. It is classified as a Historic Monument, with a specific protection for its facade and roof on street, registered by decree of 25 February 1948. This building illustrates the civil architecture of this period in the region.

Saint-Omer, the town of Hauts-de-France, was in the 17th century an active economic and cultural centre, marked by a merchant and artisanal bourgeoisie. The houses of this time often reflected the social status of their owners, with neat facades and decorative elements typical of classical architecture.

The location of this house, although specified in the Merimée and Monumentum bases, remains approximate according to available sources. Today it belongs to the municipality of Saint-Omer, but its current use (visit, rental, etc.) is not clearly documented.
