Origin and history

The house of 16 rue Maréchal-Foch is a civil building dating from the 1st quarter of the 16th century, located in Bourg-en-Bresse, in the department of Ain. It is distinguished by its typical Renaissance architecture, with a remarkable façade and roof, which led to its inscription as the Historic Monuments in 1947. These elements, both on the street and on court, have been protected since 10 September 1947 by ministerial decree.

In the 16th century Bourg-en-Bresse was a booming city, integrated into the Duchy of Savoie and then into the Kingdom of France. The houses of that time often reflected the prosperity of local merchants or notables, with adorned facades and stone or wooden structures. This type of building reflects the urban and architectural evolution of the region, marked by the influence of Italian and Burgundy styles.

The protection of this house is part of a process of preserving the heritage of Bressan, characteristic of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Its exact address, 16 rue du Maréchal-Foch, is referenced in official bases such as Mérimée, which facilitates its identification and tourist development. No information is available on its current use or accessibility to the public.
