Origin and history

The building located at 58 rue de Turenne and 24 rue Villehardouin, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 17th century. This building, typical of the Parisian civil architecture of the time, is distinguished by its niche adorned with a statue of the Virgin, a remarkable element which justified its inscription in title of the Historical Monuments.

The official protection of this building dates back to a decree of 20 October 1928, which specifically concerns the niche and its statue. This type of religious decoration, integrated with facades of buildings, was common in the Paris d'Ancien Régime, reflecting public piety and the influence of the Church in everyday life. No additional information is available on owners, architects or historical events related to this building.

The 3rd arrondissement, in modern times, was a growing area, mixing bourgeois housing, crafts and places of worship. The buildings of this period often served as residences for wealthy classes or merchants, while integrating decorative elements with religious or symbolic vocations. The current location, between the streets of Turenne and Villehardouin, confirms its anchoring in an area marked by Parisian urban history.
