Hôtel de Fécamp, Private mansion in 6th arrondissement, France

The Hôtel des Abbés de Fécamp stands at 5 rue Hautefeuille with a corner tower displaying carved lacework and decorative elements from the 16th century.

The original structure, built in 1292 for Guillaume IV de Putot, the abbot of Fécamp, underwent reconstruction during the 16th century at the intersection of two streets.

Nicolas Boucot, who resided on the first floor until 1699, collected more than 18,000 books and 7,000 engravings, creating a substantial private library.

The building received heritage protection status in 1947 for its facades and roofs, followed by the classification of its corner tower as a historical monument in 1948.

The mansion temporarily stored archives from Lorraine after the death of Stanislas Leszczyński in 1766 until their transfer to the National Archives in 1790.
