Origin and history

The house at 3 Victor-Hugo Square in Arras is an iconic 18th century building. This monument, classified among the Historical Monuments, is distinguished by its facade and roof, protected by a decree of 24 May 1948. Its architecture reflects the typical style of this period, although the precise details of its construction or its former owners are not mentioned in the available sources.

Arras, the city of Pas-de-Calais, was in the 18th century a dynamic urban centre in the Hauts-de-France region. The bourgeois houses of this time often bear witness to the economic prosperity of local trade and crafts. This type of building, with its careful architectural elements, played an important social role, hosting wealthy families or professional activities.

The protection of its facade and roof underscores its heritage interest in the urban landscape.
