Origin and history

The Hotel de Berghes, located at 20 rue Saint-Bertin in Saint-Omer (Pas-de-Calais), is an emblematic monument of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Ranked a Historical Monument, it illustrates the civil architecture of this period, with protected elements such as its facades, roofs and interior rooms (a living room on the ground floor and two bedrooms on the first floor) preserving their original décor. The registration by order of 20 January 1976 bears witness to its heritage value.

The hotel's location in the historic centre of Saint-Omer reflects the importance of this city in the Hauts-de-France region. In modern times, private hotels such as this were used as residences for wealthy families, often linked to commerce, justice or local government. Their architecture blended Flemish and French influences, typical of northern France.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum database, highlight the relative accuracy of its location (noted 5/10), as well as its exact address in the Pas-de-Calais department. No information is provided on its current access (visits, rentals, etc.), or on any historic owners or sponsors.
