Hôtel d'Anne de Pisseleu, Historic mansion in Étampes, France

The Hôtel d'Anne de Pisseleu in Étampes is a stone mansion with a tall, steeply pitched dark roof. A round turret with a conical roof rises at its left corner, and a smaller round turret stands at the right rear. The light beige walls darken and weather near the base, with lighter stone quoins around the windows and corners. A tall white sign with small dark text hangs on the left facade, above a dark arched entrance and a smaller door beside it.

The building dates from the 15th and 16th centuries. It was inscribed as a monument historique on 10 May 1926; the facades and roofs, the spiral staircase and the carved door of the ground-floor east room of the main block were classified on 29 December 1981.

The building carries the name of Anne de Pisseleu, duchess of Étampes and mistress of King Francis I, though the sources record no link between her and its construction. Its name is thus a later label attached to a 15th–16th century house. Visitors can still see the sculpted door of the ground-floor east room and the spiral staircase, both protected since the 1981 classification.

The mansion is located at the corner of rue Sainte-Croix, place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, and rue du Pain in the town center. The property is easily accessible on foot and sits among the oldest streets in Étampes.

The building carries two separate heritage protections: it was inscribed on the monument historique list on 10 May 1926, then its facades and roofs, its spiral staircase and the carved door of the ground-floor east room were classified on 29 December 1981. The carved door is the element to look for inside.
