Origin and history

The house located at 25 rue du Temple, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, is a historical monument known mainly for its bas-relief representing the heads of angelots. This architectural detail, inscribed by decree of 17 June 1925, constitutes the only protected element of the facade, emphasizing its heritage interest despite the absence of detailed information about its construction or its overall history. This type of house, typical of the historic centre of Paris, reflects the medieval and modern urbanism of the capital.

Ornamental bas-reliefs, such as that of angelots, were common in Parisian civil and religious architecture, often associated with symbols of protection or decoration. The Temple Street, a major street in the Marais, is home to many buildings of historical value, illustrating the architectural and social evolution of this emblematic district.
