Origin and history

The building at 2 rue de la Ferronnerie, at the corner of the streets of Innocents and Saint-Denis in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, dates from the second half of the 17th century. This building is distinguished by its historic location, since it was erected on the site of the old cemetery of the Innocents, one of the largest and oldest Parisian cemeteries, disused at the end of the eighteenth century. Its architecture reflects the urban codes of the time, with a facade and roof characteristic of the French classical period.

Ranked Historic Monument by order of 22 July 1980, the building enjoys partial protection, specifically covering its facade and roof on the rue de la Ferronerie. This registration reflects its heritage value, although the available sources do not specify the potential owners or architects involved in its construction. The building is located in a neighborhood marked by a medieval and modern history, between trade, crafts and religious memory.

The administrative and geographical coordinates of the building are precise: it is referenced under the code Insee 75101 (Paris) and located at the addresses 2 rue de la Ferronnerie, 1 and 3 rue des Innocents, as well as 43 rue Saint-Denis. The accuracy of its geographical location is estimated at 5/10 (passable), according to the data of the Merimée database. No information is available about its access to the public, its current purpose or any services offered (visits, rentals).
