Facades and roofs on the square and on the Scarpe (cad. CD 220): inscription by decree of 27 October 1971

Origin and history

The house located in 24 Place du Marché-au-Poisson in Douai is a monument listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments. This building is distinguished by its facades and roofs, protected by ministerial decree in 1971, due to their architectural or historical interest. The building is located in a central area of Douai, close to the Scarpe, an emblematic stream of the city.

Douai, a town in the Nord department in the Hauts-de-France region, has a rich architectural heritage, marked by Flemish and French influences. Old houses, like this one, often bear witness to the commercial and artisanal history of the region, where marketplaces played a central role in everyday life. This type of building reflects construction techniques and fashionable styles in the past, although the exact period of this house is not specified in the available sources.
