Hôtel de Cheusses, Historic private mansion in Rochefort, France.
The mansion features a central building with two extending wings forming a U-shape around a front courtyard with decorative stone entrance pillars.
Built between 1594 and 1672, this residence became the headquarters for naval commanders after Louis XIV established the Rochefort naval arsenal.
The reception rooms display carved wooden fireplaces from the 17th century, representing the decorative arts of the period.
The National Navy Museum now occupies the building, displaying collections related to French maritime heritage through multiple exhibition spaces.
This residence stands as the oldest civilian building in Rochefort, predating both the town and its naval arsenal by fifty years.
