Origin and history
The house at 11, rue du Maroquin is a historic monument located in Strasbourg, in the Bas-Rhin department. This building, which dates back to the second half of the 16th century with modifications in the 18th century, is distinguished by its facades and roof, protected by a decree of inscription in 1929. Its architecture reflects the styles of these two epochs, typical of the Strasbourg heritage.
The building is located in the heart of Strasbourg, a city marked by a rich history and a strategic position in Alsace. At the Renaissance, the period of its initial construction, Strasbourg was a major commercial and cultural crossroads in Europe. The houses of that time often served as residences for merchants or artisans, playing a central role in urban life.
The inscription of the house as historic monuments in 1929 underscores its heritage importance. This official recognition aims to preserve the remarkable architectural elements, such as its facades and roof, which bear witness to stylistic evolutions between the 16th and 18th centuries. Today, it is part of the historical landscape of Strasbourg, a UNESCO World Heritage city.
