Origin and history

The building located in Bar-le-Duc, in the Great East, dates from the 1st quarter of the 16th century. This building, whose location is estimated to be "a priori satisfactory", is distinguished by its street façade and roof, protected by a classification under the Historical Monuments since 1992. The official address recorded in the Mérimée base is 4 Place Saint-Pierre, although GPS coordinates suggest a proximity to Place de la Halle.

Bar-le-Duc, a town in the Grand Est region (formerly Lorraine), was a dynamic Renaissance city, marked by a thriving civil and religious architecture. The buildings of this period often reflect the growing ease of the bourgeois and local artisans, as well as the influence of late Gothic and Renaissance styles. This type of building, with its decorative elements and its preserved structure, bears witness to the town planning and architectural heritage of the period, while playing a central role in the daily and commercial life of the city.
