Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 121 Rue de la Forêt in Cappelle is a civil building dating from the 1st quarter of the 18th century. It illustrates the home architectural heritage of Lorraine, a region that is now integrated into the Great East. Its registration as a Historic Monument by order of 14 December 1992 underlines its heritage value, although details of its history or its original occupants remain undocumented in available sources.

Cappelle, commune of the Moselle department (code Insee 57122), is part of a territory marked by a rural and artisanal history, typical of pre-industrial Lorraine. The houses of this period often served as housing for peasant families, artisans or small local bourgeois. Their preservation, like that of this house, offers a material testimony of the lifestyles and construction techniques in force at the beginning of the eighteenth century in this border region.

The location of the house, specified as "satisfactory" (note 6/10) in the Merimée base, corresponds to the official address: 121 rue de la Forêt. No information is available on its access to the public, any tourist vocation or contemporary developments. Sources are limited to Monumentum data and administrative references, without reference to archives or in-depth studies on this specific building.
