Origin and history

The building located at 3 quai d'Anjou, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 2nd quarter of the 17th century. This building illustrates the Parisian civil architecture of this period, marked by a transition between Renaissance and classical styles. Its inscription in the inventory of Historic Monuments, by order of 4 June 1988, specifically concerns its facade and roof on the dock, highlighting their heritage value.

The location of this building, on the banks of the Seine, reflects the gradual urbanization of the island of Saint-Louis in the seventeenth century, then booming. At that time, Paris experienced a major demographic and architectural expansion, with the construction of many private hotels and related buildings for a rising bourgeoisie. The wharfs, built under Henry IV and Louis XIII, become popular places for their prestige and access to the waterways, essential to trade.

The legal protections applied to this building, such as partial registration, aim to preserve the most representative elements of its time. The accuracy of its location in the Merimée database (GPS coordinates and exact address) facilitates its identification, although the quality of this location is considered "passable" (note 5/10). No information is available on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any historic owners or architects.
