Origin and history

The house located 5 Place du Huit-Septembre (formerly Place Saint-Pierre) in Besançon dates from the 4th quarter of the 18th century and the 1st quarter of the 19th century. It is representative of the civil architecture of this period of transition between classical and pre-Romantic styles. His inscription as a Historical Monument by decree of 25 October 1937 specifically concerns his facade on the square and his cover, elements considered remarkable.

At that time Besançon, a fortified and strategic city, experienced urban development marked by the construction of bourgeois residences. This type of house reflects the local economic boom and the taste for balanced facades, often inspired by Parisian models. The Place du Huit-September, a former religious heart (place Saint-Pierre), became a place of social and commercial life, illustrating the transformations of the city after the Revolution.
