Origin and history

The house in 14 Allied Square in Masevaux-Niederbruck is a civilian building dating from the first half of the 16th century. This building, typical of Renaissance Alsatian architecture, is distinguished by its entrance gate, the only element protected by historical monuments since 1937. Its official inscription, by order of 24 May 1937, underlines its heritage interest in the urban landscape of this commune of Haut-Rhin.

Masevaux, now integrated into the municipality of Masevaux-Niederbruck, was in modern times a dynamic village in the south of Alsace, marked by artisanal and commercial activities. The houses of this period often reflect local prosperity, with open facades and decorative stone elements. Although the sources do not specify the original use of this building (bourgeois housing, commerce, etc.), its portal shows the importance attached to aesthetics and social symbolism in the domestic architecture of the period.

The exact location of the house, confirmed by the Merimée and Monumentum bases, corresponds to the current address of 14 Allied Square. The available data do not mention its current state of conservation or any subsequent changes. Its partial ranking (only the gate) suggests that other parts of the building have undergone modifications over the centuries, without specific heritage protection.
