Origin and history

The house at 13 rue des Frères in Saverne is a historic monument listed since 1929. This civil building, dated from the second half of the 17th century, has a main facade with a remarkable oriel, an architectural element protected by ministerial decree. According to the sources, this house initially formed a unique whole with the nearby property of 8 rue des Pères, suggesting a common origin or a subsequent division of the property.

The archives mention that in the 19th century, an engraved date (1560) was still visible on the door, indicating a possible reuse of materials or a transcription error. The house is also identified as belonging to the Rathsamhausen zum Stein family, an Alsatian noble lineage. Its location in the city centre, in a historic street of Saverne, reflects its heritage importance in the medieval and modern urban fabric.

The inscription for historical monuments in 1929 specifically concerns the facade with its oriel, an architectural element typical of the Alsatian bourgeois houses of the time. The available sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum) underline its interest in the study of urban habitat in Alsace at the crossroads between Renaissance and classical times. No information is provided on its current use or accessibility to the public.
