Origin and history

The buildings located at 11 and 11bis rue Colbert in Versailles constitute an architectural complex listed as Historic Monuments. Their protection, effective since a decree of 26 July 1930, relates specifically to facades and roofs, emphasizing their heritage value in the urban landscape of the Versailles. These buildings are located in an emblematic district of the city, close to the historic heart and the major structural axes.

The location of these buildings, although documented in the Merimée database with a specific address, presents a relative geographical uncertainty, estimated at 5/10 in terms of accuracy. This approximation can be explained by differences between GPS coordinates and administrative addresses, a phenomenon common in old heritage databases. Their presence in the Monumentum base and their legal status make them witnesses to the urban evolution of Versailles, a city inseparable from French monarchy history.

There is no information available on their current use, whether it be an open to the public, residential or commercial. Sources are limited to descriptive and administrative data, without details of their construction, historical occupants, or their precise role in local life. Their protection nevertheless reflects a desire to preserve the architectural character of a city marked by classicism and the transformations of the 18th and 19th centuries.
