Origin and history

The house located in Sens, Yonne, is a 17th century building, typical of the civil architecture of this period. It is distinguished by its façade on the Abraham impasse and its return to the rue Thénart, elements protected by a registration order under the Historical Monuments in 1960. This type of construction reflects urban planning and the techniques of the period, marked by a transition between Renaissance and classicism.

In the 17th century, Sens was a dynamic city, marked by its religious role (seat of an archdiocese) and its commercial activity. The bourgeois houses, like this one, illustrated the prosperity of some inhabitants, often merchants or local notables. Their preservation today offers a concrete testimony to urban life and to the architectural evolution of Burgundy-Franche-Comté.

The 1960 inscription specifically concerns the facade and roofs, highlighting their heritage value. The exact address, between Abraham's dead end and Thenart Street, allows to situate this monument in the historical fabric of Sens, a city with a rich medieval and classical past. No information is available on any owners or architects or on any current use (visit, rental, etc.).
