Origin and history

The house located 11 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 decree of inscription under the title of Historical Monuments on 25 October 1937. This ranking reflects its architectural and heritage interest in the city centre of Besançon.

Besançon, then strategic and cultural city in Franche-Comté, experienced a period of urban transformation at that time. The bourgeois houses, like this one, reflect the evolution of architectural styles between the Ancient Regime and the Empire. Their location in central squares, such as Saint Peter's Square (now 8 September Square), underlines their role in the social and economic life of the city. These buildings often embody the prestige of their owners, although they are not mentioned in available sources.

Available data indicate that the location of this monument is approximate, with an accuracy considered "passable" (note 5/10). The exact address, 11 place of the Eight-September, corresponds to the code Insee 25056 of the municipality of Besançon, in the department of Doubs. No additional information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any owners or architects associated with its construction.
