Origin and history

The Benoît House is a historic monument located in Liverdun, in the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle in the Grand Est region. Built between the 16th and 17th centuries, this house is distinguished by its characteristic architecture of this period, with a facade inscribed in the inventory of Historical Monuments by decree of 3 April 1926. It is located at 5 rue de l'Église, in the historic centre of Liverdun, a commune marked by preserved architectural heritage.

The 16th and 17th centuries correspond to a period of transition between Renaissance and classical times in France, where bourgeois or notable houses often reflect the economic and social development of cities. Liverdun, like other localities in Lorraine, saw the development of stone or wooden constructions, showing the prosperity of local artisans, merchants or notables. The Benoît House, by its status as a Historical Monument, illustrates this civil heritage and the importance attached to its preservation from the beginning of the 20th century.

The information available on this monument comes mainly from the Merimée base and sources like Monumentum. Although its current use (visit, rental, accommodation) is not specified, its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage value. The location, noted as "passable" (level 5/10), nevertheless allows to situate it with relative precision in the urban fabric of Liverdun, near the church, a central place in the Lorraine villages of the modern era.
