House of Nicolas Flamel, Medieval stone house in 3rd arrondissement, France

The four-story stone building at 51 rue de Montmorency features ornate door jambs, sculptures, and inscriptions from its 1407 construction period.

Nicolas Flamel, a 14th-century manuscript seller and purported alchemist, commissioned this structure to provide lodging for people without homes after his wife's death.

The inscriptions in Middle French on the facade request daily prayers for deceased individuals, reflecting medieval Parisian social and religious practices.

The ground floor now operates as Auberge Nicolas Flamel restaurant, while the upper levels remain private residential spaces.

Two door jambs display the initials of Nicolas Flamel, with carved figures holding phylacteries and resting in garden settings.
