Origin and history

The house located at 41-43 rue d'Amiens in Arras is a civil building dating from the second half of the 16th century. It represents an architectural testimony of the Renaissance in northern France, a period marked by artistic renewal and growing economic prosperity in cities such as Arras, then under Flemish and Burgundy influence. Its partial inscription as Historic Monument in 1946 highlights the heritage value of its courtyard façade, characteristic of the urban residences of that time.

Official protection specifically concerns the 16th century part of the facade on court, according to a decree of 25 November 1946. This partial classification reflects a desire to preserve the most representative elements of the time, while allowing for an adaptation of the building to contemporary uses. The house is now owned by a private company, which limits its accessibility to the public, although its location in the city centre (rue d'Amiens) makes it a point of interest for those passionate about history and architecture.

Available sources, including the Mérimée and Monumentum database, confirm its exact address and Insee code (62041), attached to the Pas-de-Calais department. The accuracy of its location is estimated as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), allowing it to be located with relative accuracy in the urban fabric of Arras. However, no information is provided on its current use (visits, rentals, or other functions).
