Origin and history

The building, located at 17 rue Cassette, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, is an iconic 18th-century building. This building, whose construction dates back to this period, is distinguished by its characteristic architecture of the time, although precise stylistic details are not mentioned in the available sources. It is now recognized as a Historical Monument, a distinction that highlights its heritage importance in the Parisian landscape.

The protection of this building relates specifically to its façade on street and the corresponding roof section, as evidenced by its inscription by order of 6 March 1964. This preservation measure aims to preserve the most representative architectural elements of his time. Owned by a private company, the building does not seem open to the public for visits, room rental or guest rooms, according to current information.

The location of the building, in the heart of the 6th arrondissement, places this monument in a historic district of Paris, marked by a dense concentration of 17th and 18th century buildings. The rue Cassette, although less known than other Parisian arteries, is part of an urban fabric where the architectural heritage of the Enlightenment remains palpable. The accuracy of its geographical location is assessed as fair (note of 5/10), indicating a correct but perfect identification of the exact coordinates.

Available sources, including the Monumentum database and the internal data of the Merimée database, confirm its address and legal status. No additional information is provided concerning any historic owners, architects or significant events related to this building. Its ranking reflects above all a desire to preserve a representative example of the bourgeois or aristocratic Parisian habitat of the eighteenth century.
