Origin and history

The hotel at 20 rue des Serruriers in Strasbourg is a historic monument built in the 2nd quarter of the 18th century, more precisely in 1748, in the architectural style Regency. This building is distinguished by its facades and roofs, protected since 1987, as well as by a wooden staircase with balusters and several living rooms decorated with period woodwork, Versailles parquet floors and sandstone fireplaces. In particular, interiors retain decorative elements attributed to local personalities such as Théophile Schuler or Adolphe Seyboth, although their exact roles are not detailed in the sources.

The building was listed as a historical monument by order of 16 July 1987, covering both its exteriors (street and courtyard facades) and its interior spaces (lounges, stairs, woodwork). The protected elements include 18th-century decorations, such as the woodwork of Hugo and Hans Haug, Gogel-Schoop, or Charles Muller, as well as a sandstone fireplace with painted haze. Today, the building belongs to an association, but its current use (visits, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources.

The location of the hotel in the historic centre of Strasbourg reflects the architectural importance of the city in the Enlightenment century. The Regency style, marked by a transition between baroque and neoclassicism, is represented by elegant lines and refined decorations. The Versailles woodwork and parquet floors, typical of the mansions of the time, underline the social status of the original owners or occupants, although their identities are not mentioned in the documents consulted.
