Hôtel du Cardinal de Richelieu, Private mansion in Place des Vosges, Paris, France.

The mansion features traditional French Renaissance architecture with red brick facades, steep slate roofs, and vaulted galleries on its ground floor.

The property, built between 1605 and 1612, became part of Place Royale during the reign of Henry IV, who established this royal square.

The decorated ceiling and painted beams in Madame Dufresnoy's apartment received protection status through a decree in October 1953.

The building remains a private residence, with public access limited to specific areas during annual Heritage Days events in September.

Marshal Duke of Richelieu purchased this residence in 1659 for 167,000 livres after acquiring the neighboring property from the Prince of Guise.
