Origin and history

Home At the Green Court is an emblematic building of the Hagenovian heritage, built in the 3rd quarter of the 17th century (circa 1672, according to the date worn on the staircase turret and the door of the vaulted room). Located at 127 Grand'rue in Haguenau (Bas-Rhin), it features remarkable architectural elements such as a stair turret and galleries on a small courtyard. These facades, as well as the turret, were inscribed in historical monuments by order of April 5, 1930, highlighting their heritage value.

The history of this building reflects its functional evolution: reconstructed in 1672 by an unidentified owner (with initials and a mark on the structure), it became in 1705 the Aus Trois Rois inn, then in 1825 the Aus l'Ancre establishment. Today, it houses the restaurant À la Cour Verte. Its studded ceiling, probably made in the 4th quarter of the 17th century, and traces of its past uses (owner's mark, engraved dates) testify to its role in local life, between bourgeois housing, commerce and hospitality.

The monument is part of the urban fabric of Haguenau, an Alsatian city marked by its medieval and modern history. His inscription in the title of historical monuments in 1930 aims to preserve an example of 17th century civil architecture, a period of reconstruction after the unrest of the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) which hit Alsace hard. The house thus illustrates the resilience and adaptation of buildings throughout the centuries, while preserving original elements such as turret or vaults.
