Origin and history

The house at 19 Place Denfert-Rochereau in Montbéliard dates from the 4th quarter of the 16th century. This civil building, whose facade on the square and roof are protected, illustrates the architecture of this period in a city marked by its industrial and Protestant history. The inscription as a Historical Monument by order of 2 May 1990 underlines its heritage interest, although its exact location is considered mediocre (accuracy note: 5/10).

Montbéliard, then under the influence of the princes of Württemberg, experienced an urban and economic boom at that time. Bourgeois houses, like this one, reflect the prosperity of local elites, often linked to trade or crafts. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the evolution of the building in a border region, between Germanic and French traditions.

The property now belongs to a private company, and its current use (visit, rental, or other) is not specified in the available sources. The data come mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum, supplemented by approximate GPS coordinates. No information is provided on any historic owners or occupants.
