Origin and history

The building at 10 rue de Guise in Nancy, Meurthe-et-Moselle is a monument whose protected element is a well in its courtyard. This well was listed as a Historical Monument by order of 1 August 1946, making it a notable architectural vestige of the city. No other specific historical information is available on its construction or occupants.

Nancy, the emblematic city of the Grand Est region, has experienced marked urban development over the centuries, with buildings often organized around inner courtyards. The wells, like that of this building, were essential for the water supply of the inhabitants before the arrival of modern networks. Their presence in the courses reflects the practical and social organization of the historic districts, where each building had to be autonomous in resources.
