Origin and history

The house at 56 Rue Saint-Thibault in Provins is a civil building dating from the first half of the 17th century. It illustrates the domestic architecture of this period, marked by characteristic facades and roofs. Its listing in the inventory of Historic Monuments by decree of 16 July 1970 underlines its heritage importance, especially for its external elements (cadastre AP 158).

Provins, a medieval town renowned for its heritage, experienced in the seventeenth century a transition between Gothic heritage and classical influences. The bourgeois houses of this time often reflect the prosperity of local merchants and artisans, while integrating traditional materials such as stone and wood. This type of building, although less monumental than religious or military buildings, plays a key role in structuring the urban fabric and daily life.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum database, specify that the exact address is sometimes subject to variation (56 or 58 Rue Saint-Thibault), but confirm its anchoring in the Seine-et-Marne department. The GPS location and cadastral data enable the monument to be identified with an accuracy considered "passable" (note 5/10). No information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any historic owners or sponsors.
