Origin and history

The building at 13 Grande-rue in Nancy, Meurthe-et-Moselle is a monument whose construction period is not specified in the available sources. It is distinguished by two wells located in its courtyard, architectural elements which justified its inclusion in the title of the Historical Monuments by order of 20 September 1946. These wells are the only protected elements of the building, according to official data.

Nancy, the emblematic city of the Greater East region, has experienced a marked urban development since the Middle Ages, with architecture combining medieval and classical influences. Old buildings, like this one, often bear witness to the social and economic organization of the time, where wells played a central role in providing water to the inhabitants. Although the historical details specific to this building are rare, its location in the city centre suggests integration into the commercial or residential fabric of the Lorrain city.
