Origin and history

The Hotel de Poland, located at 65 rue de Turenne in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, is a monument built in the 17th century. This building illustrates the civil architecture of this period, marked by sober facades and interior decorative elements, such as the wrought iron staircase. Its inscription as a Historic Monument in 1975 bears witness to its heritage value, particularly for its facades, roofs and interior staircase, elements protected by ministerial decree.

The location of the Hotel de Poland, in the Marais district, reflects the aristocratic urbanization of Paris under the Ancien Régime. At that time, private hotels multiplied to house the nobility and rising bourgeoisie, often close to the royal power installed in the Louvre or the Tuileries. These urban residences served both as places of social representation and as living environments for elites, incorporating refined decorations such as wrought iron ramps.

The registration of the Hotel de Poland as a Historical Monuments in 1975 preserved remarkable architectural elements, such as the facades and the staircase with its ramp. This protection is part of a broader policy of safeguarding the Parisian heritage, particularly active in the Marais, where many 17th and 18th century hotels remain. Today, although the practical information about his visit or current use is limited, his protected status makes him an important witness to the urban history of Paris.

The available data, especially from the Mérimée database and Monumentum, underline the importance of this monument in the Parisian architectural landscape. However, the details of its specific history, successive owners or past uses remain fragmentary, limiting the fine understanding of its role in local history. The location, noted as 'passable' in the sources, indicates an approximation in the GPS coordinates, without altering the historical value of the site.
