Origin and history

The building in Bar-le-Duc is a building dating from the 1st quarter of the 16th century. It is distinguished by its architecture characteristic of this period, although the stylistic details are not specified in the available sources. The building is located at 7 Place de la Fontaine, although a GPS approximation is also located at 6 rue de l'Armurier.

Its classification as a Historic Monument, which took place in 1993, specifically concerns all its facades and roofs, highlighting their heritage value. In the 16th century, Bar-le-Duc, then integrated into the Duchy of Bar, was a dynamic city marked by growing craft and commercial activity. The buildings of that time often reflected the prosperity of the owners, bourgeois or merchants, while serving as a framework for urban life.

This type of building, thanks to its conservation and protection, today bears witness to the architectural and social evolution of the Lorraine region, now attached to the Great East. However, the available sources do not mention the sponsors or the precise uses of this building throughout the centuries.
