Origin and history

The house in Laon, in the department of Aisne, is a monument listed under the title of Historical Monuments. Although its exact construction period was not specified, its architecture and inscription in 1927 highlighted its heritage importance. It is located at the intersection of Rue Sérurier and Rue de la Charpenterie, in an area in the heart of the historic city.

The inscription of facades and roofs by decree of 15 July 1927 marks the official recognition of its architectural value. This type of house, typical of medieval or modern urban centres, often reflects the social and economic organization of the city throughout the centuries. In Laon, a city marked by its medieval past and its religious role, these houses testify to the daily life of the inhabitants, artisans or bourgeois, depending on the times.

Their preservation makes it possible to understand urban evolution and local construction techniques.
