Origin and history

The building at 12 rue de la Chancellerie in Versailles is a historic monument whose remarkable elements – facades and roofs – were inscribed by ministerial decree on 26 July 1930. This protection demonstrates its architectural or heritage interest, although the available archives do not specify the stylistic features or the exact time of its construction. The address confirmed by the Merimée base and GPS coordinates coincide with the city centre of Versailles, in the Yvelines.

Versailles, an emblematic city linked to the history of the French monarchy, has a varied property heritage, ranging from private hotels to administrative buildings. This building, although less documented than the major monuments of the Veraillais, illustrates the preservation of the civil structure in a commune where urban planning was deeply marked by the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Its inscription in the title of Historical Monuments underlines the desire to preserve traces of local architectural evolution, even for non-aristocratic buildings.
