Timeline

Origin and history

The building at 44 and 42 rue du Maréchal-Foch in Ars-sur-Moselle is a civil building built during the second half of the 16th century. This building illustrates the Renaissance home architecture of Lorraine, a period marked by relative economic prosperity and artistic renewal after the troubles of the late Middle Ages. Its inscription in the inventory of Historical Monuments by decree of 9 January 1930 specifically concerns its facade, an architectural element remarkable for this time and this region.

Ars-sur-Moselle, integrated into the Moselle department and the Grand Est region (formerly Lorraine), was in the Renaissance a town under ducal influence. The buildings of this period often reflected the social status of their wealthy owners, bourgeois or artisans. This type of construction, with its facades, served both as a dwelling and as a symbol of economic success in a society still largely rural. Today, the building belongs to an association, but its current use (visits, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources.

The location of the building, between addresses 42 and 44 of Rue du Maréchal-Foch, is documented in the Merimée base under the code Insee 57032, confirming its anchoring in Mosellan heritage. Map accuracy is estimated as fair (note 5/10), suggesting a possible but perfectable visual identification. The data available mainly comes from the Monumentum platform and the internal archives, without reference to other complementary sources.
