Heritage classified

Origin and history

The building located in Nancy, in the Great East, dates from the 17th century and is distinguished by its inner well, the only element protected and inscribed as Historic Monument by order of May 15, 1944. This well, typical of the domestic architecture of the time, is a rare vestige of this period in the city, where the inner courtyards played a central role in the daily life of the inhabitants.

The building is located in 12 Place du Colonel-Fabien (formerly Place des Dames), in the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle. Although information on its construction or historic occupants is missing from available sources, its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage importance. The accuracy of its location is assessed as "satisfactory a priori" (note 6/10), allowing for a clear identification in the Nemendian urban fabric.

In modern times, buildings like this often served as housing for bourgeois families or artisans, integrating practical elements such as wells for water supply. In a city like Nancy, then booming under the influence of the Dukes of Lorraine, these buildings reflected both the functional needs and social aspirations of their owners. No information is available on any historical characters related to this building.
