Origin and history

Hotel Berthelot is a historic monument located in the town of Poitiers, New Aquitaine. This building, whose courtyard façades have been inscribed since 1928, is an example of preserved civil architecture. Although its exact construction period is not specified in the available sources, its listing as Historic Monuments demonstrates its heritage importance.

The location of the Hotel Berthelot, at 24 rue de la Chaîne, is documented in the Mérimée base. This type of monument, often linked to bourgeois housing or local institutions, reflects Poitiers' urban planning and social history. Such buildings generally served as residences for wealthy families or influential personalities, playing a role in the cultural and economic life of the city.

Available sources, including Monumentum, indicate that the Berthelot Hotel is now owned by a national public institution of a scientific, cultural and professional nature. This contemporary assignment suggests a suitable reuse of heritage, while preserving its architectural integrity. The lack of details about its openness to the public or current usages limits the understanding of its current role in the city.
