Origin and history

The house at 16 Victor-Hugo Square in Arras is a 18th-century civil building. It is distinguished by its registration as the Historical Monuments, an official recognition obtained by ministerial decree on 24 May 1948. This protection specifically concerns its facade and roof, architectural elements emblematic of the era.

Arras, a city in the department of Pas-de-Calais in the Hauts-de-France region, was in the 18th century a dynamic urban centre marked by a rising bourgeoisie and flourishing commercial activities. The houses of this period often reflected the social status of their owners, with neat facades and refined interior decorations. This type of building contributed to the structuring of the urban fabric and the affirmation of a local architectural identity.

Available data, including data from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate that the location of this monument is considered "passable" (note 5/10), without providing further details of its history or occupants. No information is mentioned on its current use, whether it is an opening to the public, a space rental or a private residence.
