Origin and history

The house in Frizon, in the Great East, is a historic monument built between the 16th and 18th centuries. Although its exterior has undergone marked transformations, its interior retains exceptional architectural coherence. The vestibule gives access to a staircase with balusters dated 1703, while the kitchen houses a stone fireplace typical of the Vosges, dating back to the early seventeenth century. Two paintings depicting the Four Seasons, framed by woodwork, date from the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century, illustrating the artistic refinement of the era.

The centrepiece of the house is a Renaissance fireplace, remarkable for its monumentality and ornamental repertoire. Its style and decorative leathers, incorporating fruit motifs, suggest a re-use and dating around 1575-1600. Four rooms on the ground floor, including this fireplace, vestibule and staircase, were protected by a registration order in 2009, highlighting their heritage value. The ensemble bears witness to the architectural and artistic evolutions between Renaissance and classical times in the Vosges.

The location of the house at 230 aisle des Marronniers is documented with an accuracy deemed satisfactory (note 7/10). Although information on its current use (visits, accommodation) is lacking, its ranking attests to its importance in the local heritage. Available sources, such as Monumentum, confirm its status as a Historic Monument and its interest in the study of 17th and 18th century domestic interiors.
