Maison du Sagittaire, Renaissance monument in central Amiens, France.

The white stone facade rises across three levels, featuring two large Gothic-inspired bays and intricate Renaissance architectural elements with detailed sculptures.

Following German bombings in May 1940, the facade survived due to fireproofing and was later dismantled stone by stone for reconstruction near the Logis du Roi.

The facade displays allegorical sculptures including a Virgin and Child, along with representations of Affliction and Piety inspired by Cesare Ripa's Iconology.

The building stands at Passage du Logis-du-Roi in Amiens, connected to the Logis du Roi structure, about 500 meters from its original location.

Two small archer figures above the bays gave the building its name, Maison du Sagittaire, commissioned by cloth merchant Jean Bultel in 1593.
