Origin and history

The house at 5 Victor-Hugo Square in Arras is an iconic 18th century building. Classified as a Historical Monument, it illustrates the civil architecture of this period in the region. Its façade and roof were inscribed by ministerial decree in 1948, highlighting their heritage value.

The location of this monument, in the heart of Arras, reflects the town planning of the Enlightenment century. At that time, Arras was a dynamic economic and cultural centre in the province of Artois, marked by a rising bourgeoisie and intense trade. The houses of this period often served as residences for wealthy families or artisans.

Today, this house belongs to the municipality of Arras. Although its current use (visit, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the sources, its status as a Historic Monument guarantees its preservation. Available data are mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum, with a geo-localized location considered "passable" (note 5/10).
