Origin and history

The house at 16 Cormont Street in Amiens is a 16th century building, typical of the civil architecture of this period. It is distinguished by its facades and roofs, which were inscribed as a Historical Monument by order of 12 July 1978. This classification reflects its heritage interest and the desire to preserve its historic character.

In Amiens, in the 16th century, bourgeois or artisanal houses often reflected the economic prosperity of the city, linked to trade and the textile industry. These buildings, built of stone or wood, served both as houses and workshops for artisans or merchants. Their location in the city centre, like this house on Cormont Street, illustrates the urban organization of the time, where economic and residential activities coexisted closely.

The location of this house, although documented in the Merimée base, remains approximate according to available sources. The GPS coordinates and exact address (16 or 4 Cormont Street) show some impreciseness, with a note of 5/10 for the quality of the location. Despite this, his registration as a Historical Monument in 1978 guarantees his official recognition and legal protection.
