Origin and history
The building located in the 12th Place de la Bourse in Bordeaux is an emblematic 18th century building, representative of the civil architecture of this period. Ranked a Historic Monument in 1916 for its facades and roofs, it is part of a major urban complex, including the Hotel de la Douane and the Hotel de la Bourse. These buildings, organised around a royal square, illustrate the economic and political importance of Bordeaux in the modern era, marked by the maritime trade and enrichment of the city.
The protection of the building was extended in 2019 and 2020, now covering additional parts of the surrounding buildings, as well as interior elements such as the courtyard floor of the Hotel de la Douane or its fountain. These successive rankings reflect the desire to preserve a coherent architectural heritage, witness to the ambitious urban planning of the Enlightenment. The precise location, confirmed by the Merimée and INSEE bases, is located in the heart of the historic Bordeaux, in the Gironde department (code 33).
Owned by a public institution, the building is now involved in the enhancement of Bordeaux heritage, although its access to the public (visits, rentals) is not explicitly documented in available sources. Its state of conservation and location, assessed as "passable" (note 5/10), highlight the challenges of preservation in a changing urban context. The data comes mainly from the Monumentum database and the Merimée archives, supplemented by internal information.
