Hôtel de La Salle in Reims, Renaissance private mansion in central Reims, France.

The Hotel de La Salle displays intricate Renaissance architecture with Doric pilasters on the ground floor and Ionic columns on the upper level.

Built between 1545 and 1556 for Henry Choilly, a master draper, the mansion reflects the prosperity of Reims merchant families in the wool trade.

The mansion gained recognition as the birthplace of Jean-Baptiste de La Salle in 1651, who founded the Institute of the Brothers of Christian Schools.

The building houses a research center and library managed by the Brothers, with a museum route presenting the history of their educational institute.

Despite severe damage during World War I, the mansion underwent complete restoration in 1920, preserving its architectural elements for future generations.
