Origin and history

The building located at 55 rue Quincampoix, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, is a historic monument whose protection relates specifically to the facade and roof. Enlisted by ministerial decree in 1974, it illustrates a preserved architectural heritage in the heart of the capital, in an area marked by its medieval history and urban evolution.

The rue Quincampoix, known for its role in the financial and artisanal history of Paris, houses this building whose external characteristics were considered worthy of conservation. Although the available sources do not specify its original use or its architect, its location in a central district suggests integration into the historical and commercial fabric of the city. The 1974 protection reflects a desire to preserve representative elements of the Parisian building, without further details of its history being accessible.

Current data do not permit a detailed chronology of the building to be traced, nor identify key characters associated with its construction or use. Its classification, however, shows the importance attached to the preservation of facades and roofs as witnesses to the architectural evolution of Paris, especially in historical districts such as the Marais, of which the 4th arrondissement is part.
