The construction of this house, whose half-timberings are among the most richly decorated in the city, dates back to the year 1427.
The ground floor is in stone and the upper floors in wood carved with windows in the cul-de-bouteille. The sculptures of the beams represent sacred and profane scenes, the five senses, the four ages of life, faith, hope and charity, and finally the signs of the zodiac. On the facade, several important figures of history appear: Caesar, Charlemagne, Hector and Goedefroi de Bouillon. On the sprocket, we can still see the pulley which served to raise the reserves to the attic.

le rez-de-chaussée est en pierre et les étages supérieurs en bois sculptés avec des fenêtres en cul-de-bouteille. Les sculptures des poutres représentent des scènes sacrées et profanes, les cinq sens, les quatre âges de la vie, la foi, l’espérance et la charité et enfin, les signes du zodiaques. Sur la façade, plusieurs personnages importants de l'histoire apparaissent : César, Charlemagne, Hector et Goedefroi de Bouillon. Sur le pignon, on voit encore la poulie qui servait à faire monter les réserves au grenier.
