Origin and history

The building located at 15 Place Ducale in Charleville-Mézières is an emblematic 17th-century civil building. Ranked Historic Monument by decree of 14 August 1944, it illustrates the architectural heritage of this period in the Greater East region. Its exact location, although documented, is considered of poor accuracy (level 5/10), with an alternative address suggested at 2 Rue de la République.

Place Ducale, the historic heart of Charleville-Mézières, concentrates several buildings of this period, reflecting the planned urban planning typical of the new 17th century cities. These buildings, often intended for residential or commercial purposes, testify to the social and economic organization of Champagne-Ardenne under the Ancien Régime. Their preservation now allows us to study the constructive techniques and lifestyles of this period.
