Origin and history

The house located at 97 Meaulens Street in Arras is a 17th century building, typical of the civil architecture of this period. It was classified as a Historical Monument, with specific protection for its façade and roof by decree of 19 November 1946. This type of building reflects the urban development of Arras, a city marked by its medieval history and commercial role in the region.

In the 17th century, Arras, then integrated into the Kingdom of France, experienced a period of reconstruction and beautification after the conflicts of the previous centuries. The bourgeois houses, like this one, bear witness to the renewed prosperity of the city and the evolution of architectural styles. These houses often served as residences for merchants, local notables or artisans, playing a central role in the social and economic life of the city.
