Origin and history

La Maison Josephine is a house in Croissy-sur-Seine, Yvelines department, Île-de-France. Built between 1750 and 1781, it is representative of 18th-century civil architecture, with modifications made in the 19th century, notably on its façade and the addition of a crystal staircase ramp of Bohemia, a rare and remarkable element.

The property has been protected as historical monuments since 22 May 1974, with an inscription covering its facades, roofs and stair ramp. This heritage recognition underscores its historical and architectural importance in the local landscape. Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its status as a public good and its precise address: 6 Bis Grande Rue, in Croissy-sur-Seine.

The origins of the house date back to a period prior to the 19th century, as evidenced by the burrowing plans and the Trudaine atlas, which placed it between the 16th and 18th centuries. However, it was its transformation in the 19th century that gave it part of its present character, notably through the integration of luxurious decorative elements such as the Bohemian crystal. Today, it remains a symbol of the architectural heritage of the Yvelines.
