Origin and history
The Old Worry is a historic monument located in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, in the department of Yvelines in Île-de-France. This building is part of the national estate of the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a heritage complex protected by decree. Its official address, 37 Place Édouard Deltaille, confirms its anchoring in the historic heart of the city.
Ranked as a historical monument, the former venereal has enjoyed legal protection since Decree No. 2024-472 of 24 May 2024. This official text includes the building within the perimeter of the national domain, thus guaranteeing the preservation of its internal parts. No additional information on its original use or detailed history is available from the sources consulted.
Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a royal city since the Middle Ages, has long been a place of residence for the French sovereigns. Wrenches, buildings dedicated to hunting, played an important role in court life. Although the details specific to this old venereal are lacking, its integration into the domain of the castle suggests a link with the cynegetic activities and the monarchical ceremonial.
