Origin and history

The building located at 25 Place Saint-Pierre in Bar-le-Duc is a 16th-century civil building, representative of Renaissance urban architecture in eastern France. This building is distinguished by its facade on the square and its roof, two elements protected by a classification under the Historical Monuments since 1992. The accuracy of its location is estimated as "a priori satisfactory", according to the criteria of the Merimée base, and its official address corresponds to the historic heart of Bar-le-Duc, in the department of Meuse.

The protection of this building specifically concerns its facade overlooking Place Saint-Pierre and the associated roof, as indicated by the classification order of 30 December 1992. Owned by the commune, this monument illustrates the heritage importance of the civil constructions of the modern period in Lorraine, a region now integrated with the Grand Est. Although the available sources do not specify its current use (visit, rental, accommodation), its status as Historic Monument makes it a major architectural witness to Bar-le-Duc.

The data from the Merimée database and Monumentum highlight its anchoring in the medieval and reborn urban fabric of the city. Place Saint-Pierre, around which this building is structured, was historically a central place for commercial and social activities. This type of building, often intended for residential or craft functions, reflects the economic and cultural dynamics of Lorraine in the 16th century, marked by exchanges between France and neighbouring Germanic territories.
