Origin and history

Hotel de Lignéville, also known as Hotel de Ligniville, is a private hotel located on the 23rd of the Grande-Rue, in the Old Town of Nancy. This monument is distinguished by its Renaissance architecture of the seventeenth century, with a narrow but symmetrical facade, decorated with sculptures all over its height and crowned by two gargoyles representing a lion and a bear. The building also retains a Renaissance staircase visible from the courtyard, as well as remains of a feeding well.

The street façade, including the carpentry vantail of the door, the staircase, the interlacing gallery on the courtyard and the roof, were inscribed as historical monuments by order of 6 March 1946. This private hotel illustrates Nancy's architectural heritage, combining Renaissance elegance and remarkable sculptural details. Its staircase and gallery, accessible from a current restaurant, testify to its historical and aesthetic importance.

Not to be confused with the Hotel de Ligniville de Besançon, this monument is part of a preserved urban complex, reflecting the urban and civil architecture of Lorraine in the 17th century. The protected elements, such as the façade and staircase, highlight the heritage value of this building, which is now part of the city's historic landscape.
