House à La Rochelle en Charente-Maritime

Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 15 rue du Mining in La Rochelle is a 17th and 18th century building. It is part of a coherent architectural ensemble, characterized by the systematic presence of arcades on all houses on this street. These elements, typical of modern-day rock town planning, reflect a desire for aesthetic and functional harmonization in the historic centre of the city.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house enjoys special protection for its arcades, officially registered by decree of 27 June 1928. This heritage recognition underlines the importance of these structures in the urban landscape of La Rochelle, a major port city on the Atlantic facade. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, places the monument in an emblematic neighborhood, close to the maritime and commercial activities that shaped its history.

The location of the house, although specified by cartographic tools, is considered to be of poor accuracy (note 5/10 depending on the sources). This can be explained by successive urban transformations or the limitations of old geolocalized data. Despite this relative impreciseness, the building remains a tangible marker of the civil architectural heritage of Charente-Maritime, now integrated into the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.

No information is available on the current use of the monument, whether it is an opening to the public, a space rental or a residential vocation. Sources focus on its heritage value and structural characteristics, without mentioning its contemporary role in local life. This lack of practical data contrasts with the wealth of historical and architectural descriptions transmitted by databases such as Monumentum.
