Origin and history
The house at 62, Grand-Rue is a historic monument located in Turckheim, in the Haut-Rhin department. Dated from 1567, it was listed as historical monuments in 1930. This building retains a typical original structure of the time: a ground floor masonry and a wooden floor. The lower level door was enhanced, and the large bay in the middle of the hanger was murmured, suggesting further changes.
One of the most remarkable elements of this house is its oriel (or erker), a type of lodge added in the seventeenth century. The latter is decorated with a decoration carved in the wood of the chambranles, including motifs of damners, torsades and volutes, reflecting the craftsmanship of the time. The portal to the court also retains a taskman's mark, a detail attesting to its constructive history.
Although redesigned, this house illustrates the Alsatian civil architecture of the 16th and 17th centuries, mixing medieval tradition and Renaissance influences. Its inscription in 1930 underlines its heritage importance, both for its style and for the material traces of the craftsmen who worked there.
