Origin and history

The building at 13 Place Ducale in Charleville-Mézières is a 17th-century civil building. It was classified as a Historic Monument by order of 14 August 1944, reflecting its heritage importance. Its location on Place Ducale, the historic heart of the city, makes it an architectural element representative of this period.

The city of Charleville-Mézières, founded in the early seventeenth century, is part of a context of urban development marked by the construction of squares and harmonized buildings. At that time, the Ardennes, then in Champagne-Ardenne, had an economic activity linked to trade and crafts. The buildings of this period often reflect the social status of their owners, usually bourgeois or merchants.

The building is now owned by a private company. Although its current use (visit, rental, accommodation) is not specified, its classification in 1944 guarantees the preservation of its architectural characteristics. The accuracy of its location is estimated to be fair (level 5/10), and photographs licensed under Creative Commons, such as Francis Neuvens, document its appearance.
