Origin and history

The building at 13 rue Quincampoix, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, is a building whose construction periods run between the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. This monument is representative of the Parisian civil architecture of the modern era, with characteristic elements such as its facade and roof on street, as well as two interior staircases with wooden balusters. These architectural components led to its registration as Historic Monuments by order of 12 April 1974, emphasizing its heritage and historical value.

The location of this building, in the lively Marais district, reflects the urban evolution of Paris during these centuries. At that time, the Marais was an aristocratic and bourgeois neighbourhood, marked by the construction of numerous private hotels and report buildings. The wooden staircases, typical of the 17th and 18th century domestic architecture, illustrate the artisanal know-how of the period, while the protection of the facade demonstrates the desire to preserve the built heritage of Paris.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the exact address of the building is confirmed, although the accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10). No additional information is provided on its current use, whether it be an opening to the public, a room rental or another function.
