Origin and history

The house in Douai, in the Hauts-de-France region, is a historical monument dating back to the 13th and 18th centuries. It is distinguished by its protected facades and toises, which reflect the architectural evolutions of these two epochs. The building has been on the inventory of Historic Monuments since October 27, 1971, reflecting its heritage significance.

The location of this house, in 10 Place du Marché-au-Poisson in Douai, suggests a link with the economic and social activity of the city. At these times, Douai was a dynamic city, marked by trade and crafts, especially around the Scarpe. The houses of this period often served as places of life, work or commerce for the inhabitants, playing a central role in urban life.

The protections granted in 1971 specifically concern facades and roofs overlooking the square and the Scarpe, indicating a desire to preserve the most representative architectural elements in the history of the house. These protections are part of a broader approach to preserving the built heritage of Douai, a city rich in historical monuments.
