Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 7 Rue de Saint-Omer in Aire-sur-la-Lys is a building dating from the 1st quarter of the 18th century. It is distinguished by its typical architecture of this period, with a facade and roof protected by a ministerial decree. This building illustrates the civil heritage of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region (now Hauts-de-France), marked by a Flemish and French influence.

Classified as a Historical Monument since 25 February 1948, this house bears witness to urban planning and construction techniques in force at the beginning of the 18th century. Although its detailed history is not specified in the sources, its inscription reflects its local heritage significance. The city of Aire-sur-la-Lys, located in Pas-de-Calais, was then a commercial and strategic crossroads between Flanders and Artois.

Available data indicate that only the facade and roof are protected, suggesting architectural value rather than interior. No information is provided on any specific owners, architects or historical uses. The location, noted as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), allows to situate the monument in the city center, near Jules Hunnebelle Street according to approximate GPS coordinates.
