Origin and history

The house in Metz, in the Moselle department, is a building dating from the 3rd quarter of the 18th century. It is representative of the civil architecture of this period, marked by classical influences and a concern for elegance in detail, as evidenced by its entrance portal.

Classified as a Historical Monument, this house illustrates the urban heritage of Metz, a city then under French influence after centuries of Germanic domination. The bourgeois houses of that time often reflected the social status of their owners, with neat facades and decorative elements such as wrought iron gates.

The entrance gate, including its vantals, was registered by decree of 6 January 1930, emphasizing its heritage importance. This protection highlights the artistic and historical value of this architectural element, typical of the affluent houses of the Old Regime in the region.

The location of the house, at 12-14 rue du Chanoine-Collin, places this monument in a central area of Metz, close to the places of religious and political power of the time. GPS coordinates suggest an approximate address at 15 rue des Jardins, reflecting possible adjustments in geographic databases.

The information available is mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum, with a priori satisfactory location accuracy (note of 6/10). This assessment indicates that, although the location is not perfect, it allows a clear identification of the monument in its urban context.

No information is provided on public access, visit, or possible reuse of the building (rent, guest rooms). The sources focus on historical and architectural aspects, without detail on its contemporary use.
