Origin and history

The 17th century crenelée gate is located in Auvers-sur-Oise, in Val-d'Oise (95), in the Île-de-France region. This monument, inscribed by decree of November 2, 1926, represents an example of civil or military defensive architecture of that time. His style, marked by niches, evokes the security and aesthetic concerns of the seventeenth century, a period of transition between Renaissance and classicism.

Auvers-sur-Oise, the emblematic village of the region, was at that time a place of passage and exchange, where fortified buildings played a role in the protection of inhabitants and property. Crenelated doors, often integrated into public enclosures or buildings, also symbolized local power and ability to defend themselves. Their presence reflected a social organization marked by tensions, especially after the wars of Religion, where collective security remained a priority.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the door is located at 48 Rue Daubigny. Its classification as Historic Monument underscores its heritage importance, although the sources do not detail its sponsor or its exact use. The accuracy of its location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), indicating an approximate knowledge of its historical location.
