Maison de l'Infante, Historic house on the port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, France.

Maison de l'Infante, also called Joanoenia, is a patrician house built around 1640 by the Basque shipowner Joannot de Haraneder, facing the port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Its main facade has two Italian-style galleries of five arcades, and the building is known for its towers and walls of pink brick and stone. The photograph shows a pale orange and pink stone facade with lighter quoins, tall round-arched windows on two floors, smaller rectangular windows above, and a red-tiled roof with a pedimented entrance porch.

The house was built around 1640 by shipowner Joannot de Haraneder and became an important venue in 1660. It hosted Maria Theresa of Spain during her marriage to Louis XIV that June, marking a significant political moment for France.

Above the door of the house an inscription reads: "L'infante je reçus l'an mil six cent soixante, on m'appelle depuis le château de l'infante" — the building has been known as the Infanta's house since 1660. The name Joanoenia comes from its builder, the shipowner Joannot de Haraneder.

The house stands on Rue de l'Infante directly on the port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, beside the Betbeder-Baita house. The historic quarter and the harbour quays are reached on foot from the surrounding streets. The entrance porch with its small pediment faces the street side of the facade.

Above the door of the house, an inscription reads: "L'infante je reçus l'an mil six cent soixante, on m'appelle depuis le château de l'infante" — the building itself records the 1660 visit that gave it its name. The oratory adjoining the salon looks out over the port and La Rhune.
