Origin and history

The house at 13 rue des Sayneurs in Valenciennes is a 17th century historical monument. It was registered by ministerial decree on 7 October 1988, attesting to its heritage and architectural value. Its exact location is documented in the Merimée base, with an approximate location confirmed by GPS coordinates.

This type of house reflects the urban planning and lifestyles of the cities of northern France in the seventeenth century. Valenciennes, then under Spanish and then French influence, was an active city where civil architecture developed in connection with local crafts and commerce. The bourgeois or artisanal houses of this period were often built of brick and stone, typical of the region.

The information available is mainly from the Monumentum database and the Merimée data. The accuracy of the location is considered fair (note 5/10), and a photograph under the Creative Commons license is associated with the monument. No information is provided on its access to the public or its current use (visit, rental, etc.).
