Origin and history

The house at 3, Kastner Avenue is a historical monument located in Strasbourg, in the Bas-Rhin department. Built in the first half of the 19th century, it illustrates the residential architecture of this period in the Alsatian region. Its designation as historic monuments in 1984 reflects its heritage importance, particularly for its protected facades and roofs.

The building is part of the Strasbourg urban landscape, marked by a mix of architectural styles reflecting the historical influences of the region. At that time, Strasbourg, a city in full industrial and cultural expansion, saw the development of bourgeois houses and public buildings. This type of house, typical of the first half of the 19th century, met the needs of an affluent population, while integrating stylistic elements characteristic of neoclassical or romantic architecture.

The protection of the house in 1984 is part of a broader approach to preserving the Strasbourg heritage, with specific elements such as facades and roofs. The latter, often decorated with sculptural details or harmonious proportions, reflect the know-how of local artisans. Today, this monument contributes to the historical richness of Strasbourg, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its city centre.
