Origin and history

The house located at 126 Grand-Rue in Strasbourg is an emblematic building of the second half of the 18th century. Built between 1765 and 1766 by the salter Jean Baptiste Choisy, it initially had two floors. Its architecture reflects the bourgeois style of the period, typical of the Strasbourg houses of this period.

At the beginning of the 19th century, around 1830, the bookseller Jean Georges Kammerer added a third floor, thus changing the original structure. This house bears witness to the architectural and social evolutions of Strasbourg, moving from artisanal use (sellier) to commercial use (librairie).

Ranked a historic monument in 1929, the protection specifically concerns the facade and roof. This classification underlines its heritage importance in the urban landscape of Strasbourg, where it is one of the many preserved buildings of the Grand-Rue, the major artery of the city.
