Origin and history

The building located at 11 rue Quincampoix in the 4th arrondissement of Paris is a 16th century building. It is representative of the civil architecture of this period in the capital, although the precise details of its construction or its first occupants are not mentioned in the available sources. Its inscription in the inventory of Historic Monuments, by decree of 12 April 1974, specifically concerns its facade and roof on street, highlighting their heritage value.

In the 16th century, Paris experienced a period of urban and architectural transformation marked by the Renaissance. The buildings of this time, often constructed of stone, reflect the evolution of construction styles and techniques, as well as the rise of commercial and craft activities in neighbourhoods such as Quincampoix. These buildings, although sometimes small in appearance, play a central role in everyday life, housing both homes, workshops and shops. Their preservation makes it possible today to bear witness to this urban and social heritage.

The location of the building in the Marais, a historic district of Paris, reinforces its heritage interest. Quincampoix Street, known for its history of trade and finance from the 17th century, adds a contextual dimension to this monument. Although the sources do not specify its original use, its ranking suggests a recognition of its importance in the Parisian architectural fabric. The accuracy of its location is assessed as fair (note of 5/10), indicating a correct but perfectable geographical identification.
