Origin and history

The Hotel de Rolland, located in Carcassonne, is an iconic monument built in the 18th century. This building, classified as Historic Monument by decree of November 14, 1923, illustrates the civil architecture of this period in the region. Its location, at 38 rue de la Mairie (or 35 rue Aimé Ramond according to the sources), makes it a central element of the urban heritage of Carcassonne.

The location of the Hotel de Rolland is documented with an accuracy deemed fair (note of 5/10), and its official address is referenced in the Merimée database. Although the practical information on his visit or current use (rental, guest rooms) is not specified, his ranking in 1923 shows his heritage importance. Available sources, such as Monumentum, confirm its status as a protected building.

The historical context of the 18th century in Languedoc (now Occitanie) is marked by a society structured around the aristocracy and rising bourgeoisie. Private hotels, like Rolland, reflect this social hierarchy and often serve as urban residences for wealthy families. Their architecture, combining functionality and prestige, embodies the values of the time.
