Origin and history

The house in Montbéliard, dating from the 2nd half of the 16th century and the 1st quarter of the 17th century, is an example of civil architecture of this period. The main body of the building was erected in 1577, as evidenced by a date marked in 1912, accompanied by an IIM monogram (now disappeared). The wooden gallery, housing a staircase, was later added, while minor changes took place in the 18th and 19th centuries, including the addition of secondary buildings in the courtyard.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 23 August 1989, this house is distinguished by protected elements: its facade on Denfert-Rochereau Square, a dressing room, the facade of the gallery overlooking the quay of the Tanneurs, and its roof. The staircase was recently rebuilt, but the structure retains traces of its history, such as the engraved date of 1577. Its location, in 21 Denfert-Rochereau Square, makes it a witness to the urban heritage of Montbéliard, marked by the influence of the princes of Württemberg in the 16th century.

The location of this monument is estimated as fair (note 5/10), with an address confirmed by the Merimée base and approximate GPS coordinates. Available sources, including Monumentum, highlight its architectural interest, although some historical data, such as the IIM monogram, were not found. The house illustrates the evolution of constructive techniques, mixing wood and stone, typical of the region at that time.
