Origin and history

The house located at the 1, quai Saint-Nicolas in Strasbourg is a historical monument whose architectural origins date back to the 16th and 18th centuries. This building, typical of the Strasbourg heritage, illustrates the stylistic evolutions of these periods, mixing late medieval structures and lighting. Its location on the banks of the Ill, in a historic district, reflects the importance of river routes for trade and urban life in Strasbourg.

In the 19th century, the house houses the workshop of painter and romantic illustrator Théophile Schuler, a major figure in the Alsatian art scene. In 1929, the Société des amis des arts de Strasbourg (now SAAMS) adorned a bronze medallion by Auguste Bartholdi in 1853, highlighting its cultural status. In the same year, the building was included in the inventory of historical monuments for its facade and its staircase, remarkable elements of its architecture.

The official protection of 1929 specifically concerns the facade and the staircase with screws, characteristic of bourgeois houses in Strasbourg. Bartholdi's medallion, integrated into the building, is a tribute to local artists at the turn of the 20th century. Today, this monument embodies both the Alsatian architectural heritage and the memory of the artistic movements that marked the city.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its exact address (67000 Strasbourg) and its Insee code (67482) attached to the Bas-Rhin department. The accuracy of its location is estimated at 5/10, indicating an average knowledge of its historical location. The house remains associated with a professional organization, although its current access (visit, rental) is not specified.
