Origin and history

The building located at 18 rue Saint-Rémésy in Toulouse is an example of 17th century aristocratic houses. Built in size bricks, it is distinguished by its characteristic architecture, with a main building of four levels on the street side and three low wings surrounding a square courtyard. A high staircase tower, located in one of the corners of the courtyard, completes the whole, reflecting the prestige of the owners of the era.

The structure of this building illustrates the influence of the Toulouse aristocracy on local urban planning. The facades and roofs, both on the street and on the courtyard, were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on 18 October 1971. This classification underlines the heritage value of the building, now owned by the commune of Toulouse. The exact location, although subject to inaccuracies (noted 5/10 for reliability), remains associated with the historic centre of the city.

Architectural elements, such as the stair tower and the arrangement in a closed courtyard, testify to the constructive practices of the time. These buildings served as both a residence and a symbol of power for noble families. Their preservation makes it possible to understand the social and urban evolution of Toulouse in the seventeenth century, a period marked by economic and cultural growth in the region.
