Origin and history

This house, located at 17 rue du Commerce in Lons-le-Saunier, is a building representative of civil architecture of the 4th quarter of the 17th and 18th centuries. Its inscription as Monument Historique, by decree of 2 December 1926, specifically concerns its facade, emphasizing its heritage and aesthetic interest.

Lons-le-Saunier, the capital of the Jura department, was at that time a developing city, marked by growing economic activity, particularly related to trade and crafts. The bourgeois houses, like this one, reflected the social status of their owners and played a role in the urban structure of the city.

The location of this monument, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10) in the sources, remains a point of interest to understand the architectural evolution of the region. The Rue du Commerce, where it is located, suggests a dynamic area, probably linked to the economic exchanges of the time.
