Origin and history

The house of Hellimmer is a farm built in 1716, as evidenced by the date worn on a post above the pedestrian door. This building, typical of the rural architecture of the early eighteenth century in Lorraine, reflects the construction techniques and agricultural needs of the period. Its left gable was redesigned in the 19th century, while modifications were made to the façade in the 20th century, especially at the first level.

Classified Historical Monument by decree of 14 December 1992, this house illustrates the evolution of peasant houses in Moselle. Its listing in the inventory protects structural elements such as the dated post and subsequent developments, which reflect the successive adaptations of the building to the uses and tastes of later eras.

Located in the 15 district of the Church in Hellimer, this farm is situated in a historical context marked by a dominant rural economy in Lorraine. The farm houses of this period served both as housing and as a place of work, organizing daily life around agricultural activities. Their preservation offers valuable insight into the way of life of local people before industrialization.
