Rue de la Monnaie, Lille

One of the oldest streets in the city. Many of the decorated façades which now fringe the street’s cobbles were rebuilt at the end of the 17th-century.

Rue de la Monnaie, formerly Rue Saint-Pierre, was renamed after the construction of the Hôtel des Monnaies (mint) by Louis XIV, in 1685. Its original name was linked to the Saint-Pierre collegiate church; inaugurated in 1066 and demolished after the Revolution.

Throughout its history, the street has been the site of various religious institutions and establishments, including the Palais de la Salle and the Hospice Comtesse. In the 11th-century it was the main road leading to the fortified castrum.

Today, Rue de la Monnaie is one of the most popular streets in Lille. Its architecture is protected by integration into the Safeguarded Sector of Vieux-Lille.
