Origin and history

The former Hôtel des Trois-Cailloux is a monument located in Amiens, in the department of the Somme, in the Hauts-de-France region. Although its construction period is not specified in the available sources, it is recognized as a Historical Monument, especially for its cellars, protected by a classification order in 1977. These underground elements constitute the only officially preserved part of the building, highlighting their heritage value.

The building is now owned by a private company, which limits the information available about its current use or detailed history. Its address, mentioned in the Merimée base, the location rue du Cloître-de-la-Barge, although an approximate location by GPS places it at the 21 Passage du Logis du Roi. This duality of addresses reflects the uncertainties associated with its exact location, noted as "a priori satisfactory" in the available data.

Monuments such as the Hotel des Trois-Cailloux, often linked to the urban and commercial history of cities, played a central role in the economic and social life of their times. In Amiens, a city marked by its medieval past and its textile activity, private hotels could serve as residences for wealthy families or reception places for travellers. Their preservation offers an overview of lifestyles and construction techniques of past centuries.
