Origin and history

The house located in 3 Place du Huit-Septembre (formerly Place Saint-Pierre) in Besançon is a building built between the late eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century. It is distinguished by its facade on the square and its cover, protected by a registration order under the Historical Monuments dated 25 October 1937. This ranking reflects its architectural and heritage interest in the historic centre of Besançon.

At that time Besançon, an emblematic city of Franche-Comté, experienced a period of urban transformation marked by the influence of the Enlightenment and the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution. The bourgeois houses, like this one, reflect the evolution of architectural tastes, mixing late classicism and first innovations of the nineteenth century. Their location in central squares, such as the former Saint Peter's Square, underlines their role in the social and economic life of the city.
