Origin and history

The building in Dole, in the Jura department, is a historical monument dating from the 18th century. This civilian building illustrates the typical architecture of this period, marked by sober lines and characteristic ornamental details. Although little precise information is available on its history, its portal was recognized for its heritage value, leading to its registration by ministerial decree in 1942.

In the 18th century, Dole, then an important city in the Franche-Comté region, was a dynamic administrative and commercial centre. The buildings of this period often reflected the prosperity of the local owners, bourgeois or notable. Their construction met both residential needs and a desire for social affirmation.

This type of building, with its careful architectural elements such as gates, bears witness to the importance attached to aesthetics and status in the planning of the period.
