Origin and history

The house at 58 rue Saint-Thibault in Provins is a building built during the first half of the seventeenth century. This building, typical of the civil architecture of this period, is distinguished by its facades and roofs, protected by a registration order dated 16 July 1970. Its classification as Historic Monument highlights its heritage importance in the urban fabric of Provins, a medieval city renowned for its architectural heritage.

Provins, located in Seine-et-Marne in the Île-de-France region, is a city whose history dates back to the Middle Ages. The houses of this time, like the one on Rue Saint-Thibault, bear witness to the daily life and urban evolution of the city. In the 17th century, Provins, although less flourishing than in the previous centuries, retained a notable commercial and artisanal role.

The bourgeois houses, like this one, reflect the social status of their owners and the adaptation of architectural styles to the new influences of the late Renaissance and the emerging classicism.
