Origin and history

The house at 17 rue d'Herzeele in Wormhout is a representative building of the 18th and 19th centuries, marked by architectural influences typical of the Hauts-de-France region. Its facades and roof, as well as the gable in return on rue du 8-Mai, were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on 14 September 1984. These elements reflect construction techniques and decorative styles in vogue during these periods, although the precise details of its occupants or its original function are not mentioned in the available sources.

Wormhout, located in the Northern Department, was at that time a rural and artisanal commune, integrated into an economic network marked by agriculture and small local industries. The houses of this period often served as housing for bourgeois families or artisans, while playing a role in structuring the urban fabric. Their preservation today demonstrates the importance attached to built heritage, even when specific historical archives are lacking.

Available data indicate an approximate location, with a map accuracy considered "passable" (note 5/10), suggesting margins of uncertainty about its exact location.
