Origin and history

The house in Abbeville, in the department of La Somme (Hauts-de-France) is a 16th-century civil building. It is distinguished by its facades and roofs, protected by a decree of inscription under the title of Historical Monuments since 15 February 1974. These architectural elements, characteristic of the Renaissance period, are located on the Marcade road and the rue aux Pareurs, in the heart of the city.

In the 16th century, Abbeville, the historic town of Picardie, enjoyed a period of prosperity linked to trade and crafts. The bourgeois houses of that time often reflected the social status of their owners, with adorned facades and sloping roofs typical of regional architecture. This type of building, although modest in relation to castles or churches, played a central role in urban life, hosting both housing and economic activities.

The inscription of this house as the Historic Monuments in 1974 underscores its heritage importance. The protections specifically concern the facades and roofs overlooking the Marcadé road and the rue aux Pareurs, as the Mérimée base specifies. No additional information is available about its specific history, owners or past uses.
