Origin and history

The house at 6 rue des Églises in Saverne is a historic monument registered since 1929. This civil building, dating from the 3rd quarter of the 16th century, illustrates the Alsatian residential architecture of the Renaissance. Its inscription specifically concerns facades and roofs, protected by ministerial decree of 12 October 1929.

The precise location of this monument is attested by the Merimée and Monumentum bases, which place it in the city centre of Saverne, in the department of Bas-Rhin (Great East region). The official address, 6 rue des Église, corresponds to the GPS coordinates and cadastral references of the municipality, identified by Insee code 67437.

Although the available sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum) do not detail its history or its occupants, this house bears witness to the Alsatian built heritage of the late 16th century. Its ranking reflects the importance attached to the preservation of ancient civilian buildings in this region, marked by a rich architectural history combining Germanic and French influences.

No information is available on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any historical figures related to its construction or occupation. The protected elements are limited to the outer parts (facades and roofs), without mentioning remarkable interior arrangements.

The historical context of Saverne in the 16th century was that of a free city of the Empire, integrated into the commercial and cultural networks of the Rhine. The bourgeois houses of that time often reflected the prosperity of local merchants or artisans, although the archives specific to this building remained incomplete.
