Origin and history

The house at the 15th Saint-Nicolas wharf in Strasbourg is a historic monument whose official protection dates back to 1929. This building, typical of local architecture, is distinguished by its facade and roof, which have been specifically recognized for their heritage value. The inscription in the title of historical monuments was issued by an order dated 18 June 1929, thus underlining its importance in the urban landscape of Strasbourg.

Strasbourg, the emblematic city of the Grand East region, has had a rich history marked by both French and Germanic influences. Historical houses, such as the Saint-Nicolas wharf, often bear witness to this dual culture. At the time of its construction, this type of building was generally used as housing for the bourgeois or artisans, reflecting the economic and social life of the city. These buildings helped shape the architectural identity of Strasbourg, between tradition and modernity.

The precise address of this monument, 15 quai Saint-Nicolas, is listed in the Merimée base, allowing it to be accurately located in the urban fabric. Although architectural details are not described in depth in the available sources, its inclusion in the historical monuments of Strasbourg and Bas-Rhin makes it a significant part of the local heritage. The protection of its façade and roof highlights architectural features considered representative of their time.
