Jacques Curadelle - Architect Manufacturer of the Sorbonne building.

Origin and history

The building located at 13 rue Champollion, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 3rd quarter of the 17th century. It is a vestige of a campaign to build rental units undertaken by the Maison et Société de Sorbonne between 1666 and 1670. This project, entrusted to the architect Jacques Curadelle, was designed to create structured housing units, including three floors and one floor of attic. The facade on the courtyard, on the other hand, was redesigned in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The stairwell still retains characteristic elements from the mid-17th century, such as a wrought iron ramp, a wooden balustrade, skeleton vants, as well as original steps and tomettes. These architectural details demonstrate the attention paid to both the aesthetics and the functionality of common spaces.

The protections granted to this building as a Historic Monument concern several elements: the gate on street (registered in 1962), the facades on street and courtyard with their cross-sections, the doors of the corridors, the stairwell, and the check-pass (registered in 2000). These measures highlight the heritage value of this building, both for its architecture and its link to the history of the Sorbonne.

The location of the building, in an area marked by academic and intellectual influence, reinforces its historical importance. Champollion Street, close to the heart of the Sorbonne, was a strategic place for buildings intended to house students and teachers, thus reflecting the social and urban dynamics of the time.

The works of Jacques Curadelle, although partially modified over the centuries, remain a representative example of the 17th century Parisian civil architecture. The building illustrates the constructive techniques of the time, while offering a material testimony of the real estate initiatives of the Sorbonne, a major institution in the educational and cultural landscape of Paris.

Finally, the state of conservation and the legal protections enjoyed by this building allow to preserve a part of the urban and architectural history of Paris. Its inscription in the title of Historic Monuments ensures the transmission of this heritage to future generations, while stressing its role in the evolution of the Latin Quarter.
