Origin and history
The house at 9 Quai Vauban in Besançon is a historic monument whose facade and roof, as well as the adjacent pavement and wharf, were inscribed by order of 16 September 1933. This building is closely linked to the defensive history of the city, being associated with the Citadelle and the urban enclosure of Besançon, major elements of the local military heritage. The protections extended in 2019 also concern buried remains of ramparts and bastioned towers, stressing the strategic importance of this sector.
The location of this house, in the Doubs department in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, makes it a witness to the urban developments linked to the fortification of Besançon. The Quai Vauban, where it is located, bears the name of the military engineer Vauban, famous for his fortification work under Louis XIV, although his direct link with this monument is not explicitly mentioned in the sources. The accuracy of its location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), and elements such as guard bodies and remains of neighbouring ramparts are also protected.
Practical information on opening to the public, renting a room or services such as guest rooms is not available from the sources consulted. The house is first and foremost documented for its architectural and historical interest, in connection with Besançon's defensive ensemble, classified as UNESCO World Heritage for its fortification system. The sources come mainly from the Merimée base and Monumentum, without further details on its contemporary use.
