Hôtel Dyel des Hameaux, Private mansion on Place des Vosges, 4th arrondissement, Paris, France
Hôtel Dyel des Hameaux stands at 13 place des Vosges, on the west side of the square between the hôtels Pierrard and Marchand. Its red brick facade is framed by light stone forming a repeating pattern of squares and vertical bands. Three tall multi-paned windows with black wrought-iron balconies sit on each visible level, aligned one above the other, and three dormer windows with arched stone tops and iron railings crown the roofline.
The mansion was built around 1630 for Antoine de Rochebaron and later passed to Duke Louis de Rohan-Chabot before being sold to François Prévost in 1764. Its protected heritage status was established in 1920, with additional safeguards for specific architectural elements added during the 1950s.
The mansion takes its name from Jean Dyel, seigneur des Hameaux, not from the Rochebaron or Rohan families who owned it. Its west-side position between the hôtels Pierrard (no. 11) and Marchand (no. 15) follows the original 17th-century plot division of the Place des Vosges. From 2007 it belonged to Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Anne Sinclair.
The mansion is a private condominium at 13 place des Vosges, on the west side of the square between the hôtels Pierrard and Marchand, so only the facade and the vaulted gallery on the square can be seen. The brick-and-stone front, with its three levels of balconied windows and three arched dormers, is best viewed from the square itself.
The building's protection came in stages: facades and roofs were classified in 1920, the rest was inscribed in 1955, and the vaulted gallery facing the square was classified separately in 1956. From 2007 it belonged to Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Anne Sinclair, who bought it as their personal residence.
