Origin and history

The house at 46 rue du Commerce in Lons-le-Saunier is a civil building dating from the 4th quarter of the 17th and 18th centuries. It was partially classified as a Historical Monument by order of 2 December 1926, with a specific protection on its façade. This type of building reflects the architectural and urban evolution of the city during this period, marked by classical and local influences.

The location of this house, in the city centre of Lons-le-Saunier, then a dynamic town of Franche-Comté, suggests its role in the economic or social life of the period. The bourgeois houses of this period often served as residences for local merchants, artisans or notables, thus participating in the structuring of the urban fabric. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the lifestyles and construction techniques of the Old Regime.

Available data indicate that the accuracy of the current location is considered fair (note 5/10), and that the exact address corresponds to that recorded in the Merimée database. No additional information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any historic owners or occupants.
