Origin and history
The Maison Saint-Pierre, located in Vineuil-Saint-Firmin in the Hauts-de-France, is a beautiful house built in the second half of the eighteenth century. It was built for Claude Nicolas Souchet, a Parisian goldsmith, and presents a simple architecture but representative of his time. The house, built on a slope, has two floors north side and three south side, with a sober roof and coat of arms above the central door.
Its name comes from a nearby chapel, built by the connétable de Montmorency, still visible though degraded. Although modest in its decor, it illustrates 18th century civil architecture and occupies a notable place in the landscape, visible from Chantilly Castle. The house is associated with the Chantilly estate, whose park extends over several communes.
The Maison Saint-Pierre has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1988, with a protection covering its facades, roofs (outside chapel) and its fence wall. Its location, close to Chantilly estate, reinforces its heritage and historical importance in the region.
