Origin and history

The house at 19 Place Denfert-Rochereau in Montbéliard is a building dating from the 4th quarter of the 16th century. It is distinguished by its characteristic architecture of this period, with a facade and roof protected by a registration order under the Historical Monuments since 2 May 1990. This classification specifically concerns external elements visible from the square, reflecting the heritage importance of the building in the urban landscape of Montbéliard.

The monument is now owned by a private company, and its current use (visit, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources. Its location, although documented in the Merimée database under the exact address, is considered to be of poor accuracy (note 5/10). This impreciseness could be explained by differences between GPS coordinates and postal address, the latter being sometimes approximate (e.g. 21 instead of 19 Denfert-Rochereau).

Montbéliard, a city marked by its industrial history and architectural heritage, has several buildings of this time. This house is part of an urban context where 16th century constructions reflect the evolution of building techniques and the stylistic influences of the Renaissance. Its classification in 1990 underlines the desire to preserve this heritage, despite the modern transformations of the city.
