Origin and history

The 17 rue Saint-Gilles building, located in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 17th century. This civil building illustrates the Parisian residential architecture of this period, marked by decorative elements such as wrought iron stairs. Although little documented in the available sources, his staircase and cage were protected by an enrollment order in 1963, highlighting their heritage value.

The protection of the staircase with its wrought iron ramp, formalized on 18 January 1963, reflects the interest in these architectural elements typical of the seventeenth century. At that time, Paris experienced a major urban boom, and buildings of this nature often housed artisans, merchants or bourgeois families. The wrought iron stairs, in addition to their practical function, also reflect the know-how of the metallurgist craftsmen of the time.

The location of the building, in the Marais (3rd arrondissement), corresponds to an area historically dense in 17th and 18th century buildings. Today, this type of monument contributes to the preservation of the Parisian heritage, offering an overview of the daily life and construction techniques of the Ancien Régime. The available data do not specify whether the building is open to the public or whether it houses specific activities.
