Origin and history

The house in Fénétrange, in the Great East, is a typical example of civil architecture in wooden panels, built between the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. This type of construction, common in the eastern regions of France, reflects the local craft techniques and residential needs of the period. The original structure, partially preserved, reflects the evolution of constructive practices between late and modern medieval periods.

The house underwent significant modifications in 1833, as indicated by the date worn on the pedestrian door crossing. This work included the re-perceivement of some bays and the re-engineering of the ground floor, adapting the building to contemporary uses. Ranked Historic Monument by decree of 3 March 1993, it today illustrates the architectural heritage of Lorraine, marked by both French and Germanic influences.

The precise address, 11 or 26 rue de la Cave, highlights its anchoring in the historic urban fabric of Fenetrange, a Mosellan commune whose code Insee (57210) confirms its membership in the Moselle department. The location, although considered "passable" (level 5/10), makes it possible to identify this monument as a local landmark, representative of bourgeois or artisanal dwellings of the Old Regime.

The protected elements, referred to under cadastral reference G 422, include significant remains such as two bays on the 1st level of the right side façade and a bay on the 3rd level of the left façade. These architectural details, combined with the wooden structure, offer an overview of the carpentry and masonry techniques of the time, while revealing the subsequent adaptations related to the social and economic changes of the 19th century.
