Origin and history
The house in Munster, Moselle department, is an example of a rural dwelling built during the 2nd quarter of the 18th century. This building, initially a farm, reflects the construction techniques and lifestyles of the time in Lorraine, a region then marked by an agricultural and artisanal economy. The houses of this period often served as a place of life, work and storage for peasant families.
In 1827, remodelling was carried out on the ground floor of the house, as evidenced by the date worn on the lintel of the pedestrian door. This change, typical of the architectural changes of the early 19th century, probably aimed to adapt the building to the changing needs of its occupants or to modernize its appearance. The house was listed as a Historic Monument by order of 14 December 1992, thereby recognizing its heritage value.
The location of this house, at 1 rue de Torcheville in Munster, is documented with a precision deemed "a priori satisfactory". This type of building, characteristic of the rural heritage of Lorraine, offers a material testimony of the architectural and social transformations that occurred between the 18th and 19th centuries in this region of the Great East.
