Origin and history

The building at 18 Place Ducale in Charleville-Mézières is an emblematic 17th century building, typical of the civil architecture of this period. Ranked a Historical Monument, it illustrates the city's urban heritage, marked by its history linked to the Ducale family and the planned urban planning of the time. Its location on Ducale Square, the historic heart of Charleville-Mézières, reinforces its heritage importance.

The protection of its facade and roof by decree of 3 February 1942 bears witness to its architectural and historical value. This classification is part of a desire to preserve the 17th century representative elements in the Grand Est region, then called Champagne-Ardenne. The building, although little documented in available sources, embodies the link between the aristocratic past of the city and its urban development.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum highlight its status as a protected monument, but do not provide details of its original use or its potential occupants. The accuracy of its location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), which may indicate minor uncertainties about its exact location. No information is available on its current accessibility or contemporary uses (visits, rentals, etc.).
