Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 2 Clerjot Street in Laon is a monument built in the 17th century. This building is distinguished by its monumental gate on street, a remarkable architectural element that led to its inscription under the title of Historical Monuments by order of 22 July 1927. This official protection underscores the heritage importance of this building in the urban landscape of Laon, a city marked by a rich medieval past and preserved architecture.

The location of this monument, in the department of Aisne in the Hauts-de-France region (formerly Picardie), is part of a historical context where bourgeois or notable houses played a central role in social organization. In the 17th century, Laon, a fortified and episcopal city, was an economic and religious crossroads. The houses of that time often reflected the status of their owners, with decorative or structural elements, such as this monumental door, symbols of prestige.

Available data, notably from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate that the exact address is 2 Clerjot Street, with an Insee code associated with the municipality of Laon (02408). The accuracy of the location is estimated to be fair (note 5/10), and no information is provided regarding any public access, visit or current use of the building. The 1927 protection concerns only the door, suggesting that this element is the site's main heritage interest.
