Origin and history

The building at 20 rue Hérold, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, dates from the last quarter of the 17th century. This building illustrates the civil architecture of the late Great Century, a period marked by the rise of private hotels and report buildings in the capital. Its facade, protected by a decree of inscription in 1926, bears witness to the aesthetic canons of the time, although precise stylistic details are not described in the available sources.

Ranked a Historic Monument, this building is part of the 17th century Parisian heritage, a time when Paris established itself as a major city under the reign of Louis XIV. The facades of buildings of this period often reflect the influence of classic models, with elements such as cut stones, sill windows or ground cornices. The 1926 inscription emphasizes its heritage value, although the archives do not specify the exact criteria for this protection.

Practical information indicates a precise location (20 Herold Street), but sources do not mention the current use of the building or its accessibility to the public. The accuracy of the location is assessed as "passible" (note 5/10), suggesting minor uncertainty about its exact location. No data are available on any historic owners, architects or significant events related to this monument.
