Origin and history

The building at 63 rue de la Verrerie, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the first half of the 17th century. Its staircase, accompanied by two galleries (north and south), is characteristic of the buildings of this period, with an estimated dating between 1620 and 1630. These architectural elements bear witness to the Parisian residential style during the reign of Louis XIII, marked by a search for elegance and symmetry.

Ranked Historic Monument by order of 14 September 1995, the stairway and its galleries (cascaded under reference 04 AF 48) are the only protected elements of the building. The property now belongs to a private company, and its access to the public (visits, rentals) is not specified in the available sources. The location, noted as passable (level 5/10) in the Mérimée base, corresponds to the official address: 63 rue de la Verrerie, 75004 Paris.

The building is located in the historic Marais district, an area rich in private hotels and 17th and 18th century buildings. Although the sources do not mention sponsors or architects, its staircase illustrates the evolution of construction techniques and taste for airy volumes during this period. The data comes mainly from Monumentum and the Merimée archives, supplemented by photographic records under Creative Commons license (credit: Erwmat).
