Origin and history

The building located 12 square of the Parliament in Bordeaux is part of a homogeneous architectural complex of the eighteenth century, characteristic of the Bordeaux town planning of the time. The square, formerly called Place du Marché Royal, forms an irregular quadrilateral where the buildings share a common ordinance: a commercial ground floor, two noble floors, and a third floor in attic. The set, made of cut stone, is crowned by a balustrade cornice and an attic, while carved masks and shells adorn the keys of yousures. The windows, with wrought iron balconies, reflect the craftsmanship of the time.

The building was built in 1754, according to historical sources. Its façade and roof were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on 17 April 1952, thereby recognizing its heritage value. The building illustrates the influence of classical French architectural models in the Bordeaux of the Enlightenment, marked by an economic boom linked to maritime and wine trade.

The exact address, 12 place du Parlement (33000 Bordeaux), corresponds to cadastre F 472. Although the GPS location is approximate (estimated at 5/10), the monument remains a tangible testimony to the urban history of Bordeaux, where there are mixed residential, commercial and symbolic functions. No information is available about its current access (visit, rental) or possible historic owners.
