Hôtel de Sens, Gothic residence in Le Marais, France
The Hôtel de Sens features medieval architecture with intricate stonework, a prominent tower, and fortified walls near the Seine River in Paris.
Construction of this building took place from 1475 to 1519 under Archbishop Tristan de Salazar, replacing an earlier structure that housed religious leaders.
The Forney Library within the Hôtel de Sens maintains collections of fine arts, decorative arts, and technical documents for public research and reference.
Visitors can access the library's extensive collection of postcards, prints, and documents about arts and crafts at 1 rue du Figuier in Paris.
A cannonball from the 1830 revolution remains embedded in the building's facade, marking a direct impact during the historical conflict.
