Origin and history

The house 4 Place du Huit-Septembre (formerly Place Saint-Pierre) in Besançon is a building representative of 18th-century civil architecture. Ranked a Historic Monument, it stands out for its facade on the square and its cover, protected by ministerial decree of 25 October 1937. This building illustrates the urban heritage of Besançon, marked by a rich history and a central location in the city.

The location of this monument, in the Doubs department in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, reflects the importance of bourgeois constructions of this time. In Besançon, a strategic city close to the Swiss border, the houses of this period often bear witness to the economic and cultural boom of the 17th and 18th centuries. Their preservation makes it possible today to study the lifestyles and architectural evolution of the region.

No mention shall be made of its access to the public, its current vocation (housing, commerce, institution) or any interior developments.
