Hôtel Saint-Simon, Renaissance historical monument in central Angoulême, France.

The private mansion displays antique medallions, pilasters, and geometric patterns on its facade, reflecting the architectural style of the 16th century.

Built in the 16th century, the building became property of the Saint-Simon family in the 18th century and served as a military police station in 1771.

The building currently houses Via Patrimoine, an organization that arranges exhibitions and promotes culture in the Charente region.

The building is located at 15 Cloche-Verte Street in Angoulême, where visitors can observe the facade from a small courtyard beyond the porch.

Only the facade maintains its original Renaissance style, as the interior was completely renovated at the beginning of the 19th century.
