Maison de l'Élection, Historical mansion in central Troyes, France.

The Maison de l'Élection features a timber-framed structure with multiple levels rising above the street in the center of Troyes.

Michel Drouot, a local draper who served as mayor from 1536 to 1538, constructed this building after the great fire of 1524.

This building stands as a central example of French Renaissance architecture, displaying the construction methods of 16th-century Champagne region.

Located at 26 rue de la Monnaie, the building remains a private property with its street facade protected as a historical monument.

A square tower originally contained a decorative lead spire, which survived a 1903 fire and now resides in the Saint-Loup Museum.
