Origin and history

The building at 68 First Army Street in Thann has been a listed historical monument since 1921. This building, dated from the 16th century, is often associated with the architect of the Thann collegiate because of the shields carved on the oriel, although some architectural elements suggest a later construction, around the 1600s. These stylistic details, like the tasker marks, bear witness to the evolution of construction techniques at that time.

The façade of the building is protected by a classification order dated April 13, 1921, highlighting its heritage importance. Located in the Haut-Rhin department, this monument is part of the Alsatian architectural landscape, marked by Gothic and Renaissance influences. The street where it is located, formerly called Grande-Rue, reflects the urban history of Thann, a city known for its medieval and religious heritage.

Although there are assumptions in the sources about its relationship with the college, there is no clear evidence of its initial use or occupants. The carved shields and decorative elements remain the main clues of its history, while its precise location, validated by the Merimée base, makes it a point of interest for the study of Alsatian civil architecture of the 16th and 17th centuries.
