Origin and history

This building, located in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, dates from the second half of the 17th century. It occupies a historic location, that of the old cemetery of the Innocents, one of the largest and most famous Parisian cemeteries of the Middle Ages in the late eighteenth century. This place, now extinct, was a central space of Parisian life, marked by collective burials and emblematic funeral practices of the medieval and modern era.

The building has been partially protected under the Historical Monuments since 1980, with an inscription concerning its facade and roof on the rue de la Ferronnerie. This heritage recognition underscores its architectural and historical interest, linked both to its characteristic 17th century style and to its anchoring in a neighbourhood marked by major urban transformations, including the suppression of the cemetery in 1786.

No information is available on sponsors, architects or historical occupants of the building. The sources are limited to its precise location (10 rue de la Ferronerie and 15 rue des Innocents) and its heritage protection. The accuracy of its geographic location is estimated as fair (note of 5/10), perhaps reflecting minor uncertainties about its exact boundaries in current databases.
