Origin and history

The house located at 11 quai Vauban in Besançon is a monument listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments. It is distinguished by its facade and roof, protected by ministerial decree since 16 September 1933. This building is also linked to the defensive history of the city, being associated with the Citadelle and the urban enclosure of Besançon, some of which are also classified.

The location of this house, on the Vauban wharf, places it in an urban context marked by the military and architectural history of Besançon. The protected elements include not only the very structure of the house, but also parts of the surrounding urban enclosure, such as the remains of the counterscarp of the bastioned tower of Rivotte or the ramparts between the towers of Rivotte and Brégille. These extensive protections, confirmed by an order of September 10, 2019, underline the heritage importance of the site.

The monument is part of a larger complex, including guard bodies and buried remains, which reflect the evolution of Besançon fortifications. The accuracy of its location is estimated to be "passable", based on available data, and its exact address is confirmed by the Merimée database. The house, though discreet, plays a role in the collective memory of the city, in connection with its military and architectural heritage.

Practical information about opening to the public, renting a room or possible guest rooms is not specified in the available sources. The monument remains above all a testimony of the urban and defensive history of Besançon, integrated into a landscape marked by the Citadel and its ramparts.
