Origin and history

This house, located at 25 rue du Commerce in Lons-le-Saunier, is an example of civil architecture from the 4th quarter of the 17th and 18th centuries. It is distinguished by its facade, protected by a registration order under the Historical Monuments since 2 December 1926. This ranking reflects its heritage interest, although details of its history and occupants remain poorly documented in available sources.

The location of this monument, in the Jura department in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, reflects the town planning typical of the thermal and commercial cities of this time. Lons-le-Saunier, known for its saline sources and commercial activity, housed bourgeois houses like this, often linked to the local economic boom. These buildings served both as a residence and as a symbol of social status for wealthy families in the region.

Practical information indicates that the accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), and that it is referenced in the Merimée database under Insee 39300. No mention shall be made of its current accessibility (visit, rental, or accommodation), or of any interior features protected beyond the façade.

Available sources, including Monumentum, do not provide additional details on historic owners, architects, or major changes to the building. Only the date of inscription of 1926 and the period of construction (late 17th-15th century) are attested, limiting the understanding of its evolution over time.

The exact address, 25 rue du Commerce, corresponds to both administrative and GPS coordinates, confirming its location in the city centre. The Creative Commons license associated with the photo of the monument (credit: Chabe01) suggests accessible visual documentation, but without detailed architectural description in the sources consulted.

In the absence of complementary archives, this house illustrates above all the preserved built heritage of Lons-le-Saunier, marked by a civil architecture characteristic of the pre-industrial periods and urban dynamics of Franche-Comté.
