Origin and history

The building located at 44 Place Ducale in Charleville-Mézières is a 17th century building, a period of construction confirmed by the archives. This building is part of the architectural heritage of the city, with a central location on Place Ducale, the historic heart of Charleville-Mézières. Its facades and roofs, protected by a classification under the Historic Monuments since 1932, illustrate the style of the period and the urban importance of this square, conceived under the influence of the dukes of the region.

The classification of the building by order of 26 August 1932 underlines its heritage value, particularly for its preserved exterior elements. Place Ducale, where it is located, is a remarkable architectural ensemble, typical of the Ducal squares of the Great East, reflecting the urban and social organization of the seventeenth century. At that time Charleville-Mézières, then under the influence of the Ardennes, was a commercial and military crossroads, where buildings such as this served both as housing for the affluent classes and as a symbol of local power.

Available data, from sources such as Monumentum, indicate that the exact address corresponds to an emblematic place of the city, with a GPS location confirming its location on Ducale Square. Although the practical information about his visit or current use is not detailed, his status as a Historic Monument guarantees his preservation. The Creative Commons license associated with the photos of the building allows a wide dissemination of its image, contributing to its reputation in the Greater East Regional Heritage.
