Origin and history
The house at 13 rue des Frères in Saverne, in the Lower Rhine, is a historic monument listed since 1929. This 17th century building (2nd half) is distinguished by its main façade and oriel, elements protected by ministerial decree. Originally, it would have formed a unique set with the house next to 8 rue des Pères, suggesting a larger property.
According to historical sources, an engraved date (1560) was still visible on the door in the 19th century, indicating an earlier occupation or construction. The house is associated with the Rathsamhausen zum Stein family, a notable lineage in the area. Its architecture reflects Alsatian urban traditions, between late medieval influences and Renaissance.
Registration for historic monuments in 1929 underscores its heritage value. Today, it remains a testimony of Saverne's urban transformations, between medieval heritage and modern evolutions. Sources also mention an approximate location (accuracy: 5/10), without detail on its current access to the public.
