Origin and history

The building located at 9 rue Royer-Collard, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, is a historic monument whose main protected feature is its monumental gate. The latter was registered by ministerial decree on 24 March 1928, attesting to its heritage value. No other detailed architectural or historical information is available in current sources, except its precise address and legal status.

The location of the building in the Latin Quarter suggests integration into an urban fabric marked by centuries of intellectual and academic history. The buildings in this area, often built or remodelled between the 17th and 19th centuries, reflect the evolution of Parisian architectural styles. However, in the absence of precise data on its construction period or occupants, it is impossible to restore its specific historical context.

Monuments such as this building, although less spectacular than large religious or public buildings, play a key role in preserving collective memory. Their protection, even partial (as for the monumental door here), allows to preserve representative elements of the living environment of Parisians throughout the epochs. Royer-Collard Street, close to the Sorbonne and Panthéon, is also home to many heritage buildings, strengthening the area's interest in urban history.
