Origin and history

The House known as Hôtel de la Marine, located in Senlis in the Hauts-de-France, is an emblematic monument of the city dating from the 16th century. This building, whose facades and roofs are protected by a decree of 27 March 1936, bears witness to the civil architecture of this period. Its name evokes a possible vocation related to maritime administration, although the sources do not specify its original use.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house illustrates the architectural heritage of Senlis, a city marked by its medieval and reborn history. The sixteenth century, the time of its construction, corresponds to a period of transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, where civilian buildings multiply to reflect the prosperity of cities. The Hotel de la Marine, with its address at 2 rue du Chat-Haret, is part of this dynamic urban context.

The information available, from the Merimée base and Monumentum, underscores its heritage importance. Although the details of his history or his occupants were missing, his inscription in 1936 confirmed his historical and architectural value. The location, specified as "a priori satisfactory", allows to situate this monument in the historic heart of Senlis, a city rich in vestiges of past eras.
