Origin and history

The building in Bar-le-Duc, Meuse department, is a building dating from the 1st quarter of the 17th century. It is distinguished by its facades and roofs, protected by a classification under the Historical Monuments since 1992. Its exact address, 14 Place Saint-Pierre, is referenced in the Mérimée base, although its GPS location is approximate (10 Place Saint-Pierre).

This building illustrates the civil architecture of Lorraine at the beginning of the seventeenth century, a period marked by a transition between Renaissance and classicism. In Bar-le-Duc, a city then under ducal influence, the buildings of that time often reflected the social status of their owners, while integrating into a dense urban fabric. The facades, protected elements, testify to the constructive techniques and decorative styles in vogue in the region at that time.
