Origin and history

Hotel Lefèbvre-Cayet is a historic monument located in Arras, in the department of Pas-de-Calais (Hauts-de-France). Built in the 18th century, it embodies the refined civil architecture of this period, with protected elements such as its facades, its entrance gate, and a wrought iron staircase. The building has been included in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1977, especially for its interior decorations (dining room and living room) and its staircase ramp.

The private hotel is located at 2 rue des Fours, a location confirmed by Merimée bases and GPS coordinates. Although the sources do not specify its current use (visit, rental, guest rooms), its conservation status and location are considered satisfactory (note 6/10). Legal protections specifically concern facades, roofs, and interior elements, reflecting their heritage value.

The Pas-de-Calais, in the 18th century, was a region marked by a rising bourgeoisie and an economic dynamism linked to trade and crafts. Private hotels, such as Lefèbvre-Cayet, symbolized the social prestige of their owners, often merchants, notables or officers. These urban residences also played a role in local social life, welcoming receptions and cultural exchanges.
