Origin and history
The house at 26 quai Vauban in Besançon is a historic monument whose facade and roof were inscribed by ministerial decree on 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, themselves classified and protected for their architectural and archaeological remains.
The urban enclosure of Besançon, some of which date back to ancient times, includes various remains such as bastioned towers (Rivotte, Brégille, Saint-Pierre), ramparts, and guard corps of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These structures, partially buried or visible, illustrate the evolution of the city's fortifications. A decree of 10 September 2019 extended protection to several of these elements, strengthening their preservation.
The location of the house, on the Vauban quay, places the monument in a major historical area of Besançon, marked by its strategic and military role. The accuracy of its geographic location is assessed as "passable" (note 5/10), and its exact address is confirmed by Merimée bases and GPS coordinates. No information is available about its accessibility to the public, its current vocation (housing, museum, etc.), or any services offered on site.
The available sources, including Monumentum and the internal data of the Merimée database, underline the heritage importance of this site, without providing further details on its specific history, its former owners, or its original use. The house is thus part of a larger architectural ensemble, bearing witness to Besançon's defensive and urban past.
