Origin and history

The former mansion of Miraville, located in Sarcelles (Val-d的Oise), is a typical example of the large bourgeois mansions of the late 19th century in the Paris region. Built in the Neo-Renaissance style, it is distinguished by its decorative vocabulary inspired by Alsatian architecture. The building consists of two bodies of contiguous houses: the smallest one evokes cottages, while the large body, made of brick and cut stone, incorporates wooden panels reminiscent of regionalist constructions. Two common buildings complete this complex, whose interiors retain original elements such as a monumental staircase, painted ceilings, fireplaces and stained glass windows.

The mansion illustrates the architectural eclecticism of the period, mixing Renaissance and regionalist influences. Since 1964, it has been home to the town hall of Sarcelles, marking its anchor in municipal life. Ranked Historic Monument by Order of March 17, 2011, the site includes all buildings and their parcels, highlighting its heritage value. The architect Paul Boeswilwald is the certified architect, and the property now belongs to the municipality.

The location of the manor house at 3 rue de la Résistance is documented with an accuracy considered satisfactory (note 7/10). Available photographs, such as those of Creative Commons Licensed Clicmouse, bear witness to its current state. This monument reflects both local history and the architectural tendencies of the Paris bourgeoisie of the late 19th century, between tradition and modernity.
