Origin and history

The house located at 11 rue des Juques in Strasbourg is a historical monument whose construction spans two distinct periods: the 16th century and the first half of the 18th century. This building illustrates the architectural evolution of the city, mixing Renaissance elements and later influences. Its designation as historic monuments in 1929 underscores its heritage importance, especially for its facade, the only part protected by ministerial decree.

Strasbourg, the major city of the Grand East region, has had a rich urban history, marked by intense cultural and commercial exchanges, especially during the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. The houses of that time often served as houses for local merchants, artisans or notables, reflecting the economic prosperity of the city. This type of building, typical of the historical centre, also bears witness to the social and architectural transformations of Alsace under the successive influences of the Holy Empire, then France.

The inscription of the house in 1929 is part of a broader desire to preserve the Strasbourg heritage, while the city, marked by its Germanic past and its attachment to France, sought to enhance its architectural identity. Today, this monument contributes to the wealth of the saved area of Strasbourg, alongside other classified buildings. No information is available on its current use (visit, rental, etc.) or on any owners or architects associated with its construction.
