Origin and history

The house at 13 Victor-Hugo Square in Arras is a 18th-century civil building. This monument, inscribed in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 24 May 1948, is distinguished by its facade and roof, elements protected for their heritage value. Although its exact location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), its address is clearly identified in the Merimée base, confirming its anchoring in the city centre of Arras, in the department of Pas-de-Calais.

The 18th century in Arras, then integrated into the historic province of Artois, is marked by an urban and architectural boom. The bourgeois houses, like this one, reflect the prosperity of the city, linked to the trade of sheets and its administrative role. These buildings, often located in central squares, served as both a residence and a symbol of social status for wealthy families. Their preservation today reflects the importance attached to the civil heritage of that time.

Available sources, including the Monumentum platform and Merimée data, highlight the protected status of this monument.
