Hôtel de Chapelaines, Renaissance private mansion in Troyes, France.

The stone building displays a five-part facade divided by sculpted pilasters, crowned with capitals and adorned with molded first-floor windows and decorative balustrades.

After the great fire of 1524, Louis Largentier, Baron of Chapelaines and bailiff of Troyes, built this residence in 1535 on land owned by Clairvaux Abbey.

The mansion represents French Renaissance architecture through its triangular pediments, fluted vases, and gargoyles with monstrous heads at the corner of the building.

The mansion, located at 55 Rue Turenne, remains a private property with its facade and roof registered as historical monuments since June 16, 1926.

King Louis XIII stayed at this mansion from January 23 to 26, 1629, choosing it over the episcopal palace to affirm his bailiff's authority.
