Timeline

Origin and history

The house in the 8th Place du Marché-aux-Cochons-de-Lait in Strasbourg is a historic monument whose construction spans two distinct periods: the 16th and 18th centuries. This building, typical of Alsatian civil architecture, illustrates the stylistic and urban evolutions of the city over the centuries. Its classification in 1931 shows its heritage value, especially for its facades and roof, protected by ministerial decree.

The Place du Marché-aux-Cochons-de-Lait, where this building stands, evokes the commercial and craft history of Strasbourg, a city marked by its role as a European crossroads. In modern times, houses of this type were often used as housing for merchants or artisans, while sometimes sheltering economic activities on the ground floor. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the social and urban organization of Alsace under the Old Regime and beyond.

The building is located in the department of Bas-Rhin, in the Grand East region, and its exact address is listed in the Merimée base. Although the available sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum) do not detail its past or present use, its classification among historical monuments makes it a key element of the Strasbourg heritage. The accuracy of its location is estimated as fair, suggesting clear identification despite slightly approximate GPS coordinates.
