Origin and history

The Hotel de Saxony is a historical monument located at 27 rue des Juifs in Strasbourg, in the Bas-Rhin department. Built during the 4th quarter of the 18th century, it represents an example of civil architecture of this period. Its classification as historical monuments, which occurred in 1927, specifically protects its facade on street, emphasizing its heritage importance.

The building is attributed to architect François Pinot, whose name is associated with his design. Today, the hotel in Saxony belongs to an association, suggesting a cultural or collective vocation. Its location in the historic district of Strasbourg, marked by a high density of monuments, reinforces its architectural and urban interest.

The building is part of the broader context of 18th-century Alsace, a region marked by intense cultural exchanges between France and Germanic territories. The private hotels of that time often reflected the social status of their owners, while integrating various stylistic influences, characteristic of border towns like Strasbourg.
