Origin and history

The house at 7 rue de l'Épine in Strasbourg is a historic monument listed since 1929. This 18th century building is distinguished by its typical civil architecture of the period, with a street façade and a vestibule decorated with stucco. The inscription for the historical monuments, which took place by decree on 13 June 1929, relates specifically to the façade (including the vantals of the door), as well as the vestibule and its staircase.

Strasbourg, an Alsatian city with a rich history, had many bourgeois houses and civil buildings built or renovated in the 18th century, a period of economic and cultural prosperity. These houses often reflected the social status of their owners, with neat interior decorations such as stucco ceilings. The inscription of this house as a historic monument bears witness to its heritage value, particularly for its representative architecture of that time.

The protected elements of the house, as described in official sources (Mérimée base), include precise architectural details, emphasizing the importance attached to the preservation of interior and exterior decorations. The exact location, confirmed by GPS coordinates and postal address, places this monument in the historic centre of Strasbourg, an area rich in built heritage.
