Origin and history

The house at 2, rue de l'Abreuvoir in Strasbourg is a historic monument built in the 18th century. This building, typical of the civil architecture of this period, is distinguished by its facade and roof, which were protected by an inscription as historical monuments in 1978. Its location in the city centre of Strasbourg reflects the urban planning of the period, marked by bourgeois or artisanal dwellings.

The inscription of the house as a historic monument in 1978 underscores its heritage importance. The protected elements, namely the facade and the roof on the street, bear witness to construction techniques and decorative styles in the eighteenth century in Alsace. This type of house, often linked to the economic boom of Strasbourg under the Ancien Régime, illustrates the way of life of the affluent inhabitants of the city and their relation to urban space.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its legal status and precise location in the Lower Rhine. The house, although little documented in its interior details or its historical occupants, remains a representative example of Strasbourg's architectural heritage. Its exact address, 2 rue de l'Abreuvoir, allows it to be located in a neighborhood probably driven by commercial or craft activities at the time of its construction.
