Origin and history

The house at 18 Battant Street in Besançon is a civil building built between the late 15th and early 16th centuries. This monument illustrates the domestic architecture of the transition period between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, characteristic of Burgundy cities. Its facade, protected by a decree of inscription in 1941, reflects techniques and decorative styles in vogue at that time in the region.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house is part of the ancient urban fabric of Besançon, a city marked by its strategic and commercial role in Franche-Comté. At this time, the region was under the influence of the Dukes of Burgundy and then the Habsburgs, which could have influenced architectural styles. Bourgeois houses like this often served as residences for wealthy merchants or artisans, playing a central role in local economic and social life.

The precise address, 18 rue Battant, is referenced in the Merimée base, and the monument benefits from a geolocation deemed "a priori satisfactory". No information is available about its access to the public, its current vocation (housing, museum, etc.), or possible historical characters related to its construction or occupation. Sources are limited to Monumentum data and internal archives, without further detail on its specific history.
