Origin and history

This house, located at 65 rue du Commerce in Lons-le-Saunier, is an iconic 18th century building. It is distinguished by its facade, which has been protected since 1926, as well as by its wrought iron impossible grille, which led to its inscription as the Historical Monuments. The original protection order dated December 2, 1926, was corrected on October 24, 1929, thus confirming its heritage importance.

Lons-le-Saunier, a city in the Jura department in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, was in the 18th century a dynamic center marked by commercial and thermal activities. The bourgeois houses of that time often reflected local prosperity, with elaborate facades and elaborate architectural details. This type of building, typical of the town planning of the time, bears witness to the craftsmanship and taste for ornamentation.

The location of this house, specified as "passable" (note 5/10) in the databases, corresponds to the official address recorded in the Merimée database. Although the practical information about his visit or current use is not detailed, his status as a Historic Monument makes him a key element of the local architectural heritage.
