Hôtel du Châtelet, Historical monument in 7th arrondissement, France
The Hôtel du Châtelet stands at 127 rue de Grenelle, featuring architectural elements from the late 18th century French neoclassical design period.
Constructed in 1776 by architect Mathurin Cherpitel for the Duke of Châtelet, the building became state property after the duke's execution in 1793.
The structure represents the French hôtel particulier tradition, a specific type of grand townhouse designed for aristocratic urban residences.
The building currently houses the Ministry of Labour and includes the minister's official residence, maintaining its administrative function within the French government.
Between 1796 and 1807, the building served as headquarters for the École nationale des ponts et chaussées before becoming the Turkish embassy.
