Origin and history

The building on 15 rue Saint-Pierre in Dourdan is a 18th-century civil building. Located in the Essonne department, it illustrates the domestic architecture of this period in Île-de-France. Its inscription in the title of Historic Monuments, effective since 3 April 1969, specifically protects its facades and roofs, highlighting their heritage value.

The construction of this building is part of the urban context of Dourdan, a city marked by a medieval history but whose eighteenth century saw the emergence of bourgeois or artisanal residences. These buildings reflect the evolution of the lifestyles and construction techniques of the time, while integrating with the ancient fabric of the city. Their preservation now allows us to study the architectural transitions between the Ancien Régime and the Revolution.

The building is referenced in the Mérimée base under INSEE 91200, confirming its administrative anchoring in the commune of Dourdan. Its exact address, 15 rue Saint-Pierre, and GPS location make it a point of accessible heritage interest, although information about its current vocation (visit, private use) is not specified in available sources.
