Façades and roofs on the street and on the Place de l'Amiral-Courbet (cad. XM 214): inscription by decree of 15 February 1974
Origin and history
The house at 22 rue des Carmes in Abbeville is a 16th-century civil building, typical of Renaissance architecture in Picardie. This monument, whose facades and roofs on the street and on the square of the Admiral-Courbet are protected, illustrates the built heritage of the city at a time marked by its economic and commercial growth. Its listing in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 15 February 1974 underlines its heritage value, although the available archives do not specify its sponsor or its original use.
In Abbeville, in the 16th century, bourgeois houses like this reflected the prosperity of the region's textile and maritime activities. These houses, often made of brick and stone, served as both a place of residence and a professional space for merchants or artisans. Their preservation today offers a tangible testimony to the urban life and architectural evolution of Picardia, integrated since 2016 in the Hauts-de-France region.
The approximate localization (accuracy noted 5/10) and the lack of details about its interior, however, limit the comprehensive understanding of its history.
