Maison Lambrette, Protected heritage property in Verviers, Belgium
Maison Lambrette is a protected heritage building in Verviers with traditional timber framing arranged in four bays across three stories. The facade is characterized by some fifty window openings distributed in multiple groupings that break up the exterior wall surface.
The house was built in 1635 by Jean Pirotte and received its current name from Martin Lambrette, a carpenter who rented it in the early 1800s. The name became so established that it stuck permanently to the property.
The building served as a meeting place for communist organizations during the 1970s, reflecting its role in the city's social movements. Today visitors can see how such spaces functioned as gathering points for community groups.
The property is currently closed to the public due to ongoing restoration works that will convert it into residential units. Check for updates on access before planning a visit, as the timeline for completion is long-term.
The timber framing incorporates fourteen Saint Andrew's crosses as decorative structural elements across the facade. These geometric patterns are characteristic of the period's construction style and give the house its distinctive visual character.
