Origin and history

The house located in Epinal, dated the 4th quarter of the 15th century, represents a rare testimony of the medieval civil architecture of the city. Classified as a Historical Monument, it illustrates the constructive techniques and urban lifestyle of this pivotal period between the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Its state of conservation makes it a remarkable heritage to understand the evolution of the city.

The building was the subject of two successive protections: its façade was inscribed by order of 23 October 1926, and its facades, roofs and a staircase in view with its cage were inscribed on 17 November 1994. These measures underline its heritage importance. The house is now owned by the municipality of Epinal, although its current use (visit, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources.

Located at 1 Place des Vosges and 15 rue du 170ème-R.I., this house is part of the historical fabric of Epinal, in Lorraine (present-day Grand Est). Its approximate location, noted as "passable" (level 5/10), and associated GPS coordinates (2 Rue Frédéric Chopin) reflect the challenges of mapping ancient monuments. Available photographs, such as Ji-Elle's under Creative Commons license, contribute to its visual documentation.
