The Phoenix Tower was originally a medieval watchtower. Built in the 13th century, it stands at the northeast corner of the historic city walls. After falling into disrepair, it was rebuilt in 1613 by two guilds, and their emblem, the phoenix, was placed above the door. Its connection to King Charles dates back to 1645, when he supposedly stood in the tower and watched his army being defeated at the Battle of Rowton Moor. Over the years, the tower was used commercially before being converted into a museum.

The building that now houses Paysan and The Cavern of The Curious Gnome, a wine bar & real ale emporium in Chester, is part of the city's historic Bridge Street Row. Chester is known for its Grade II-listed buildings, many of which date back centuries and feature black-and-white timber-framed architecture. While Paysan itself is a modern establishment, the building it occupies has deep historical roots.
