Hôtel de Cabre, Gothic-Renaissance mansion in 2nd arrondissement, Marseille, France.
Located at the intersection of Grand Rue and Rue de la Bonneterie, the Hôtel de Cabre displays a three-story structure with mullioned windows and detailed stone carvings.
Built in 1535 by Louis Cabre, Second Consul of Marseille, the building survived German demolitions in 1943 when many structures near the Old Port were destroyed.
The facade features statues of Louis Cabre, his wife, and Saint James, while revolutionary forces removed the fleur-de-lis coat of arms during the French Revolution.
The building serves as a testament to preservation techniques, as engineers moved the entire 670-ton structure 15 meters and rotated it 90 degrees in 1954.
The inscription 'rue Bonneterie' remains visible on the facade despite the building's current alignment with Grand Rue after its rotation.
