Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 10 rue des Tanneurs in Sarrewerden, in the Lower Rhine, is a historic monument built in the 1st quarter of the 17th century. This building is distinguished by its street door, dated 1603, which bears witness to the civil architecture of this period in Alsace. It is located at the corner of the rue des Tanneurs and the Grande-Rue, in the heart of the village, reflecting the traditional town planning of the region.

Ranked a historic monument by decree of 21 April 1934, this house illustrates the local built heritage and its inscription specifically protects its adorned door. Sarrewerden, part of the Lower Rhine department in the Greater East region, maintains a remarkable example of Alsatian habitat from the early seventeenth century. At that time, bourgeois or artisanal houses played a central role in the economic and social life of small towns, often linked to tanning activities, as suggested by the name of the street.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight its heritage importance, although details about its occupants or its precise use remain unknown. The approximate location, noted as "passable" (level 5/10), and GPS coordinates suggest a slightly variable address depending on the references, between 10 and 12 rue des Tanneurs. No information is provided on its current accessibility or possible tourist vocation.
