House à La Rochelle en Charente-Maritime

Timeline

Heritage classified

Origin and history

The house located at 38 rue du Mining in La Rochelle is a 17th and 18th century building, representative of the civil architecture of this period. It is distinguished by its arcade, a remarkable architectural element which led to its inscription under the title of Historical Monuments by order of 27 June 1928. This classification underscores the heritage value of this element, although the accuracy of its location is considered poor (level 5/10 depending on the sources).

In the 17th and 18th centuries, La Rochelle, the major port of the Atlantic, experienced an economic boom linked to maritime trade, particularly with the colonies. The houses of this time often reflect this prosperity, with stone facades and ornamental details such as arcades. This monument is part of this urban context, although the available sources do not specify its original use (housing, commerce, etc.) or its eventual owners.

The current data, from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate a confirmed address (38 rue du Mining) and an Insee code combining the monument with the municipality of La Rochelle (17300), in Charente-Maritime. No information is available on its accessibility to the public, a possible tourist vocation or services such as guest rooms. The protection covers only the arcade, without mentioning other architectural or historical elements.
