Rang de Beauregard, Historical houses complex at Place du Théâtre in Lille, France

The Rang de Beauregard consists of fourteen aligned houses with uniform facades, decorated with cherub-headed pilasters and fruit garland ornaments.

Built between 1685 and 1687 by architect Julien Destrée, this complex replaced wooden houses from 1551 to modernize local urban planning.

The facades combine French and Flemish architectural elements, featuring ground floor arches supported by pillars and mansard roofs.

Visitors can examine the architectural details from Place du Théâtre, while the ground floors house various shops open to the public.

Twelve cannonballs embedded in the right facade stand as evidence of the 1792 siege of Lille, serving as a permanent historical memorial.
