Origin and history

The Rossel House, also known as Hotel Sponeck, is an emblematic building of Montbéliard, built in 1719 in the Doubs. This building from the 1st quarter of the 18th century illustrates the aristocratic architecture of the period, with a garden built between 1755 and 1758. It was initially commanded by Jean Rodolphe, Count of Sponeck, brother-in-law of Prince Leopold Eberhard, before being acquired by the city in 1767.

The hotel underwent several changes, including interior restorations in 1769, 1770 and 1772, as well as changes to its stairs in the 19th century. In 1877, the Rossel Marti family lived there, as evidenced by the initials "M.R." on the gate gate. Since 1932, the Rossel House has been listed as a historical monument and is now serving as an annex to the Town Hall, hosting cultural activities such as the ticket office of MA national stage.

The building, owned by the municipality, retains remarkable architectural elements, including a large staircase mounted after reducing its cage. Its history reflects the urban and social evolutions of Montbéliard, between princely heritage and public use. Available sources, such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its importance in the local historical landscape.
