Timeline

Heritage classified

Origin and history

The house located at 21 rue des Merciers in La Rochelle is a monument partially listed as Historic Monuments. Its protected element, an arcade, was classified by ministerial decree on 20 June 1928. This official recognition underscores its architectural or historical interest in the urban context of the city.

The location of this monument, in downtown La Rochelle, reflects the importance of the old building in this harbour town. The Rue des Merciers, mentioned in the archives, evokes an artisanal and commercial past typical of the coastal cities of the medieval and modern West. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée base, allows to situate this heritage precisely in the current urban fabric.

The available data do not specify the time of construction or the potential owners or sponsors of this house. However, its listing as Historic Monuments indicates that it has significant architectural or historical characteristics, justifying its preservation. The lack of information on its current use (visit, rental, etc.) limits the knowledge of its contemporary role in local life.
