Origin and history

Hotel du Lys is a historic half-timbered building located in Houdan, in the Yvelines department of Île-de-France. Built at the end of the 15th century, this former hotel is distinguished by its structure decorated with human figures and Croix de Saint-André. It comprises two floors and a sloping roof with skylights, with a gate leading back to the outbuildings ( stables and barn).

The Hotel du Lys has been protected as a historical monument since 4 June 1926. Its typical structure reflects late medieval civil architecture, with remarkable decorative elements. The building is located at 64 rue de Paris, in the city centre of Houdan, and remains a testament to the urban planning of this period.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight its heritage importance. Although its detailed history and its former owners are not explicitly documented in the texts provided, its classification and preservation make it a notable example of the Yvelin heritage. The region, marked by a transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, saw the development of buildings combining residential and economic functions, as evidenced by the outbuildings of the hotel.
