Origin and history

The Hotel de Condé is a mansion built in the 17th century in Châteauroux, in Indre. In classic style, it stands out for its main body framed by two forebodys, opening onto a courtyard accessible by a Louis XIII portal decorated with pilasters with bosses and a pediment. The facades and roofs, which have remained unchanged since their creation, were listed as historical monuments in 1975.

The monument illustrates the civil architecture of the Great Century, with a typical organisation between courtyard and garden. Its portal, characteristic of the reign of Louis XIII, and the rigor of its lines reflect the influence of Parisian models in the provinces. The inner courtyard, bordered by symmetrical wings, bears witness to a harmonious design, unique to the mansions of the time.

No information is available on the hotel's historical sponsors or occupants. The sources mention only its partial classification (facades and roofs) in 1975, without specifying any restorations or contemporary uses. The exact location, 21 rue Dauphine, confirms its integration into the ancient urban fabric of Châteauroux.
