Origin and history

The Hotel de Sanxerre is an emblematic monument of Orleans, built in the 16th century. This building, located at 211 rue de Bourgogne, embodies Renaissance civil architecture in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Its classification as a Historic Monument by decree of 14 September 1912 bears witness to its heritage value, particularly for its protected elements, designated under cadastre BK 306.

The location of the Hotel de Sanxerre, close to Rue de la Poterne, reflects medieval and reborn urban planning in Orleans, a city marked by its strategic and commercial role. At that time, private hotels served as residences for wealthy families or local notables, often linked to political, judicial or merchant power. Their presence helped to structure the urban fabric and assert the prestige of their owners.

Available data from sources such as Monumentum and the Merimée database indicate that the official address also includes 39bis and 41 rue de la Poterne. The Insee code of the commune (45234) confirms its anchoring in the Loiret department, in the region Centre-Val de Loire. Although the practical information on current visits or uses is not detailed, its status as a Historic Monument guarantees its preservation and its interest in the local heritage.
