Origin and history

Hotel de la Croix d'Or, also known as Hotel Deheurles, is a private hotel located in Troyes, in the Aube department, in the Grand Est region. Built during the 2nd quarter of the 16th century, this monument illustrates Renaissance civil architecture in this historic city. It is located at 42 rue de la Monnaie (now 34 rue Salengro), in an emblematic area of Troyes.

The building was listed as historical monuments by order of 16 June 1926, specifically protecting its facades and covers of the building at the bottom of the first courtyard. This official recognition underscores its heritage and architectural importance. The hotel is today a private property, without clear indication of its accessibility to the public.

The construction period of the Hotel Deheurles coincides with an era of prosperity for Troyes, marked by the development of trade and crafts, especially in the textile sector. The private hotels of that time often reflect the high social status of their owners, linked to local aristocratic or commercial elites. These buildings served as both a residence and a place of representation, embodying the prestige of their occupants in a city that is growing economically and culturally.
