Origin and history
The building located 16 Place de la Bourse in Bordeaux is a building representative of 18th century civil architecture. It is part of a major urban complex of the city, marked by private hotels and administrative buildings, reflecting the economic prestige of Bordeaux at that time. The Place de la Bourse, designed by the architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel, symbolizes the golden age of Bordeaux trade, particularly related to wine and maritime trade.
The façade and roofs of this building were classified as Historic Monument by decree of 22 December 1916, highlighting their early heritage value. In 2019 and 2020, new protections expanded the classified area, including surrounding hotels and elements such as the fountain of the courtyard of the Hotel de la Douane. These measures illustrate the desire to preserve the integrity of this historic quarter, a witness to urbanism and the art of living in the Enlightenment.
The exact address, 16 place de la Bourse (33000 Bordeaux), is referenced in the Mérimée base under the code Insee 33063, confirming its anchoring in the department of the Gironde. Although the practical information about visits is missing from the source text, its status as a Historic Monument and its central location make it an emblematic place of Bordeaux heritage, accessible from the square or via digital tools such as Street View.
