Origin and history

The house located at 24 rue Saint-Martin in Laon is a 17th century building, typical of the civil architecture of this period. Its most remarkable element is its monumental door, which was inscribed under the title of the Historical Monuments by order of 13 June 1927. This protection highlights the heritage value of this architectural element, a witness to the urban history of Laon.

The location of this house, in the historic centre of Laon, reflects the importance of this city in the seventeenth century, then marked by its administrative and religious role in Picardia. The houses of that time often served as residences for local notables or merchants, thus participating in the economic and social life of the city. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the evolution of habitat and construction techniques of the modern era.

Available data, notably from the Merimée database and Monumentum, highlight the precise address of this monument and its Insee code (02408), confirming its anchoring in the department of Aisne. The accuracy of its location is estimated as fair (note of 5/10), which may indicate minor uncertainties about its exact location, although the postal address is clearly identified.
