Hôtel Montescot, Private mansion in Chartres, France
The mansion features three buildings surrounding a square courtyard, enclosed by a wall with a monumental portal decorated with Doric columns.
Built in 1546 by Jean de Montescot, the mansion was reconstructed in 1614 after suffering damage during the French Wars of Religion.
The ground floor reception room contains a 17th-century painted ceiling displaying the initials of Claude de Montescot and his wife Madeleine Havardin.
The building currently serves as Chartres City Hall, with multiple administrative offices and ceremonial spaces for municipal functions and weddings.
Latin inscriptions on the main facade document the 1614 reconstruction, while winged figures adorn the pediments of the three original doors.
