Origin and history

The building located at 56 rue Royale (and rue de la Sainte-Famille) in Versailles is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1931.

The Registration Order, dated October 7, 1931, emphasizes his or her heritage interest without further specifying his or her history or occupants.

The location of this building, in the historic heart of Versailles, suggests a link with the urbanization of the city after its development around the royal castle. The Yvelines, and especially Versailles, experienced a marked architectural expansion in the 18th and 19th centuries, with bourgeois buildings or private hotels. Although the available sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) do not detail its original use, its protection bears witness to its value in the urban landscape of the Versaille.
