Origin and history

This house, located in Arras in the Hauts-de-France, dates from the 18th century. It is recognized as a historical monument, especially for its adorned portal and the accompanying cariatids, protected by ministerial decree in 1946. These architectural elements reflect the artistic style and refined craftsmanship of the period, typical of bourgeois houses in the region.

The precise address of this monument, 9 Place de l'Ancien-Rivage, is referenced in the Mérimée base. The location, assessed as satisfactory, clearly identifies its location in the city centre of Arras. Although the information on its current use (visit, rental, accommodation) is not specified, its status as a Historic Monument makes it a significant heritage element of the city.

The official protection of the portal and cariatides in 1946 underscores their artistic and historical value. These sculptures, often associated with classical architecture, bear witness to the influence of 18th-century aesthetic currents in France. Their presence in a private house in Arras illustrates the social and cultural prestige of the owners of the period, as well as the artistic dynamism of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region (now Hauts-de-France).
