Origin and history

The house at the 6 Grand-Rue in Strasbourg is a historic monument built in the 17th century. This civilian building, typical of the Alsatian architecture of the time, is distinguished by its facade and roof, protected since 1929. Its location in the heart of the city, in an emblematic street, bears witness to the importance of bourgeois dwellings in the urban landscape of Strasbourg.

Classified as a historical monument by order of June 25, 1929, this house is part of the protected heritage of the city. The protection specifically concerns its facade and roof, architectural elements representative of the 17th century style. Today, the building belongs to a private company, which limits its access to the public. Its inscription in the Merimée base and its precise location (Insee code 67482) make it a documented element of the Strasbourg heritage.

The 17th century in Strasbourg corresponds to a period of reconstruction and urban expansion after the unrest of the Thirty Years War. Bourgeois houses, like this one, reflect the restored prosperity of local elites, often linked to trade or administration. These buildings served as both a residence and a symbol of social status, while participating in the structuring of the city's shopping streets.
