Origin and history
The building at 26 rue Lesueur in Abbeville is a mansion built in the 18th century. This building, typical of the civil architecture of the period, is distinguished by a richly decorated Louis XV door, attributed to the artist Pfaff. Although very restored, it retains emblematic elements of its time, such as the carved claws that adorn its entrance.
The Louis XV Gate of this hotel was classified by decree on 16 September 1928, highlighting its heritage value. The building, initially located at Address 10 Grande-Rue-Notre-Dame, is now identified as 26 rue Lesueur. Owned by a public establishment, its current use (visits, rentals, etc.) is not specified in available sources.
Abbeville, located in the department of the Somme in the Hauts-de-France region (formerly Picardie), was in the 18th century a dynamic city, marked by commercial and craft activities. Private hotels, like this one, reflected the social status of their owners, often from the bourgeoisie or local aristocracy. These urban residences served as both a dwelling and a place of representation, illustrating the architectural fascist of the period.
