Origin and history

The building located at 18 rue Gouvion-Saint-Cyr in Toul is an emblematic 17th century building, typical of the civil architecture of this period. Ranked Historic Monument, it stands out for its facade and roof, protected by ministerial decree since 1941. These architectural elements reflect the styles and techniques of construction in vogue in Lorraine of the Great Century, then under increasing French influence.

The location of this building, in the city centre of Toul, is part of an urban context marked by a strong military and religious history. In the 17th century, Toul was a strategic place, integrated into the kingdom of France after the wars of the modern period. Civilian buildings like this often served as residences for local notables, bourgeois or officers, thus participating in the social and economic structuring of the city.

Available data, from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate that the exact address corresponds to a well-preserved area today, with a GPS location deemed satisfactory. The absence of information about its current use (visit, accommodation) or its detailed history limits the knowledge of its precise role in Toulouse life, but its status as a protected monument underlines its heritage importance.
