Origin and history

The house at 31 rue du Bain-aux-Plantes in Strasbourg is a typical example of half-timbered Alsatian architecture. This type of construction, common in the region, is characterized by an apparent wooden frame, filled with torchi or bricks. The house was classified as historic monuments in 1927, reflecting its heritage significance and architectural value.

Strasbourg, the historic city of the Great East, has had a rich history marked by both French and German influences. Half-timbered houses, like this one, were common in medieval and reborn city centres, often serving as dwellings for artisans or merchants. These buildings reflect the local know-how and social organization of the time, where the proximity of the houses favoured exchanges and community life.
