Heritage classified

Origin and history

The buildings located at 40 and 42 rue d'Anjou in Versailles constitute a historical monument whose protection relates specifically to the facades overlooking Rue d'Anjou and Rue Royale, as well as the roof. Their inscription by ministerial decree in 1931 underlines their heritage value in the urban landscape of the Versailles.

The location of these buildings, in the central district of Versailles, reflects the architectural and historical importance of this part of the city, marked by a rigorous urban planning inherited from past centuries. Their preservation is part of a broader approach to the conservation of the built heritage of Île-de-France, a region rich in listed monuments.

Available data indicate a precise address (40-42 rue d'Anjou) and an approximate GPS location (34 rue d'Anjou), suggesting a possible error or evolution in the numbering of streets. The accuracy of this location is assessed as poor (note 5/10), which may complicate their exact identification for visitors or researchers.

No information is provided on their current use (visit, rental, accommodation) or on their detailed history before or after their classification. Sources are limited to the administrative data of the Merimée database and the Monumentum platform, without reference to archives or in-depth studies.

The classification of 1931 takes place in a national context of increased protection of the heritage, where the French state multiplies the inscriptions to preserve the remarkable elements of historic city centres. Versailles, an emblematic city linked to the monarchy, benefits particularly from these conservation measures.

The lack of details about the owners, architects or historic occupants of these buildings does not allow for the reconstruction of their past social or economic role. Their value therefore lies mainly in their architectural representation and integration into the urban fabric of the Versailles.
