Origin and history

The house at 11 rue de la Paroisse in Versailles is an emblematic building of the 18th and 19th centuries, marked by architectural transformations reflecting the stylistic evolutions of these periods. Classified as a Historic Monument, it is distinguished by its facades and roof on the street, as well as by an entrance hall and an interior staircase decorated with a wrought iron ramp. These elements, typical of the handicrafts of the period, bear witness to the know-how of the artisans of the Versaillais.

The four lounges on the first floor, with their decorations of woodwork and stucco, are particularly remarkable and contributed to the inscription of the house by order of 14 November 1980. This protection also covers specific parts of the building, identified under the cadastral reference AX 155. Although the sources do not specify its original use, its architecture and location in the historic heart of Versailles suggest a link with the aristocracy or the local bourgeoisie, influential social classes in this royal city.

The location of the house, in a street close to the parish, indicates an integration into the ancient urban fabric of Versailles, a city deeply marked by its monarchy past. The available data do not mention an opening to the public, room rental or current use as guest rooms, suggesting a mainly residential or heritage vocation. The accuracy of its location is assessed as 'a priori satisfactory', according to the criteria of the Merimée base, which facilitates its identification in the Veraillais landscape.
