Origin and history

The house at 12 rue des Minimes, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 17th century. It is remarkable for its architectural remains, including the facade and the stair ramp, which come from the old church of Minimes. These elements, witnesses to the religious and urban history of Paris, were inscribed as Historic Monument by order of 17 March 1925.

The building is now a private property, which limits its access to the public. Its location, specified as 'passable' (note 5/10), corresponds to the exact address mentioned in the Merimée database. Although little documented, this house illustrates the evolution of Parisian heritage, combining religious heritage and civil architecture.

The 3rd arrondissement of Paris, in the 17th century, was a district undergoing transformation, marked by the increasing urbanization and influence of religious orders. The Minimes, a beggar order founded in the 15th century, had established a convent there, the house of which preserves traces. Their presence reflected the importance of religious institutions in the daily life and spatial organization of the city at that time.
