Hôtel d'Avelin, Neoclassical private mansion in Lille, France.

The Hotel d'Avelin stands at 22 rue Saint-Jacques, featuring a monumental portal with Doric columns leading to a court of honor.

Built between 1777 and 1780 by architect Michel-Joseph Lequeux for the Marquis of Hangouart, the mansion became the first neoclassical residence in Lille.

The mansion earned recognition as a historical monument in 1941, reflecting the architectural excellence of 18th-century French residential design.

The building underwent renovation works starting in 2020, following its acquisition by Sofim development company from the city of Lille.

The property includes a 900-square-meter garden, making it one of the largest private green spaces in central Lille.
