Origin and history

The building at 7 Pointelin Street in Dole is a 16th and 17th century building, representative of the civil architecture of this period. Its most remarkable element is a carved door, protected by a registration order under the Historical Monuments in 1948. This type of decor reflects the craftsmanship and stylistic influences of the period, often mixing Renaissance and classical motifs.

The location of the building in the historic centre of Dole, the former capital of Franche-Comté, suggests its integration into an urban fabric marked by trade and crafts. The buildings of this period often served as housing for bourgeois families or merchants, reflecting the relative prosperity of the city before its political decline in the seventeenth century. Their preservation today offers an overview of the lifestyles and social organization of the time.

The inscription of the door carved in 1948 underscores the heritage value of this architectural element. Although the available sources do not specify the details of its design or sponsors, this official protection attests to its historical and artistic significance. The building, still located at its original address, remains a material testimony of Dolian history, accessible via tools such as the Merimée base or collaborative platforms such as Monumentum.
