Hôtel de Soyecourt, Private mansion in 1st arrondissement of Paris, France
Hôtel de Soyecourt is a private mansion in the 1st arrondissement of Paris featuring stone facades, pilasters, and tall windows. The property includes several interior courtyards, residential apartments, office space, and a garden enclosed by high walls.
Built between 1683 and 1689 to plans by Jules Hardouin-Mansart for the architect Jean-Baptiste Prédot, who sold it in 1689 to Marie Renée de Longueil, wife of the Marquis de Soyécourt; she gave the mansion its name and sold it in 1698 to the financier Antoine Crozat. After Crozat's death in 1738 his children sold it in 1743, and it passed through several hands. It was listed as a monument historique in 1926.
The mansion takes its name from Marie Renée de Longueil, marquise de Soyécourt, who bought it in 1689 and sold it in 1698 to the financier Antoine Crozat. She was the daughter of René de Longueil, président de Maisons. The building is often confused with the Hôtel de Maisons on rue de l'Université, a separate property.
Keep in mind that this is a private residence not open to the public, and you can only view it from outside. The courtyards and garden are not accessible, but the architectural details of the facades can be appreciated from the street.
The Hôtel de Maisons at 49-51 rue de l'Université, bought by Ali Bongo in 2010 for 98 million euros, is a different building from this one. The Hôtel de Soyecourt stands at 3 place des Victoires, on the square's south-east side, between rue La Feuillade and the Hôtel Bauyn de Péreuse.
