Origin and history
The house at 29 Rue du Faubourg-de-Besançon in Montbéliard dates from the 1st quarter of the 17th century. It is part of a neighbourhood designed by Frédéric de Württemberg and designed by architect Heinrich Schickardt, reflecting the planned urban planning of the time. This old house, probably built at the same time as its neighbour dated 1610, bears witness to the civil architecture of the Renaissance in Montbéliard.
The riverside building houses an old tannery, built in 1825 for Pierre Louis Sahler. This place illustrates the economic evolution of Montbéliard, marked by artisanal activities such as leather work. The barn, now extinct, once occupied the site of the garden, highlighting the successive changes of the site.
Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 6 October 1989, the house is protected for its facade on street and roof (cadastre BT 159). This ranking highlights its heritage interest, linked to both its original architecture and its adaptation to 19th century industrial needs. The accuracy of its location is estimated to be fair (note 5/10), based on available data.
The district, typical of Württemberge's urban planning, combines habitat with economic activities. The presence of the tannery recalls the importance of water-related trades in this city crossed by the Lizaine. Today, the building, although protected, does not seem open to the public, and its current use (housing, commerce or other) is not specified in the sources.
