Hôtel Jean Beaucé, Private mansion in Poitiers, France.
The Renaissance mansion features a distinctive staircase tower with decorative elements including Roman emperor busts and ornate pilasters on its facade.
Jean Beaucé, a cloth and silk merchant, constructed this residence in 1554, which later hosted the founding conference of Reformed Churches of France in 1558.
The building demonstrates the architectural preferences of wealthy Renaissance merchants through its false perspective sculptures and classical antiquity references.
The structure now contains multiple private apartments following extensive renovations in 2013, with a neo-Renaissance extension added to its rear section.
During the religious conflicts of 1559, members of the Reformed Church used this mansion to transform religious artifacts into gold ingots.
