The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'origine du nom de cet édifice et l'histoire de sa construction ne sont pas connues. Cet hôtel particulier du 16e siècle a été, après un incendie, presque totalement restauré au 19e siècle, sans doute par Ruprich-Robert. La façade Renaissance vers la rue conserve une corniche à frise avec des rosaces, cordelière, et coquilles typiques, ainsi qu'un décor torsadé d'origine. Le bâtiment annexe qui surmonte l'entrée présente, au rez-de-chaussée, une grande et une petite porte en plein cintre, et au premier étage une galerie de bois vitrée. A l'intérieur, plafonds peints.

The origin of the name of this building and the history of its construction are unknown. This 16th-century townhouse was, after a fire, almost entirely restored in the 19th century, probably by Ruprich-Robert. The Renaissance façade towards the street preserves a cornice with frieze of rosettes, cordelier, and typical scallop shells, as well as original twisted decoration. The annexed building that overhangs the entrance presents, on the ground floor, a large and a small round arch door, and on the first floor a glazed wooden gallery. Inside, painted ceilings.
