Origin and history

The building located at 11 Place Ducale in Charleville-Mézières is a 17th-century historical monument. It illustrates the civil architecture of this period in the Greater East region, marked by increasing urbanization and the influence of local dukes. The building was classified by ministerial decree in 1944, recognizing its heritage value.

Place Ducale, the historic heart of Charleville-Mézières, is home to several iconic buildings of the modern era. These buildings reflect the economic and cultural dynamism of the Ardennes under the Ancien Régime, where the merchant bourgeoisie and the artisans played a central role. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the urban and social evolution of this city.

Private property, this building is one of the few 17th century buildings still standing in the department. Its classification in 1944 reflects the importance attached to the preservation of the architectural heritage after the destruction of world wars. No information is available on its current use or possible internal transformations.
