Origin and history

The building at 28 Place Ducale in Charleville-Mézières is an emblematic 17th-century building. It is an integral part of the architectural heritage of this city of the Ardennes, marked by its classical urbanism. Ranked a Historical Monument by order of 14 August 1944, it illustrates the importance attached to the preservation of the buildings of this period in the Greater East region.

Place Ducale, the historic heart of Charleville-Mézières, was designed according to a rigorous geometric plan typical of the seventeenth century. The buildings that border it, like this one, reflect the influence of the urban models of the time, often linked to new city or reconstruction projects. Their classification reflects their heritage value, both for their style and for their role in local history.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum highlight the precise location of the building (Insee code 08105) and its protected status. However, information on its original use, historical occupants or subsequent transformations remains limited. The accuracy of its location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), which may indicate minor uncertainties about its exact location in the archives.
