Facades and roofs of the main building and of the building in return for square (Box AC 79): inscription by order of 20 January 1976
Origin and history
The Maison de l'Escuyer, located at 34 rue de Paris in Saint-Brice-sous-Forêt (Val-d'Oise), is a building built during the 2nd quarter of the 18th century. This monument illustrates the civil architecture of this period, marked by classical lines and a search for elegance in bourgeois or aristocratic residences. Its facades and roofs, as well as those of the building in return for square, were included in the inventory of Historic Monuments by decree of 20 January 1976, emphasizing their heritage value and their representativeness for the time.
Saint-Brice-sous-Forêt, located in Île-de-France, was at that time an area where secondary residences for wealthy families or officers close to Paris developed. Houses such as the Escuyer's often served as a resort or social representation, reflecting the status of their owners. Their preservation today allows us to understand the lifestyles and architectural aspirations of the 18th century elites in this region.
The location of the Maison de l'Escuyer, specified as 'a priori satisfactory' (note 6/10), corresponds to the official address recorded in the Mérimée database. This monument, although protected, does not have explicit information in the available sources about its current accessibility to the public, whether it is visits, room rental or accommodation. Its main interest lies in its architecture and its inscription in the local historical fabric.
